Polyols, or sugar alcohols, are polyhydric alcohols produced by hydrogenation or fermentation of different carbohydrates. Chemically, polyols are derived from mono- and disaccharides. Some polyols are

Mono-saccharides

Glucose		Sorbitol
Xylose		Xylitol
Fructose		Sorbitol / Mannitol

Di-saccharides

Saccharose (Glucose-Fructose)		Isomalt (Glucose-Sorbitol / Mannitol)
Lactose (Glucose-Galactose)		Lactitol (Sorbitol-Galactose)
Maltose (Glucose-Glucose)		Maltitol (Glucose-Sorbitol)

SIGMA and BIAZZI offer together units to produce out of natural sources, hydrogenated polyols for food and pharmaceuticals.
