Abstract
A concentrated polyol composition, having a water content from 10-17%, preferably between 12 and 16%, and comprising from 35 to 90% of hydrogenated monosaccharides including at least 30% of sorbitol, and from 0 to 45% of hydrogenated disaccharides, these percentages being expressed as dry weight relative to the dry weight of all the hydrogenated saccharides contained in the said composition. This concentrated polyol composition may advantageously be unsweetened. This concentrated polyol composition may be used as a medium for dispersing hydrophilic polymers, and in particular cellulose, as well as for the preparation of pharmaceutical or cosmetological products such as toothpastes.
