The clear dextrose solution is reacted with hydrogen gas in the presence of catalyst in the reactors at specified pressure and temperature which is subsequently subjected to carbon treatment, ION Exchange etc. The solution thereafter is subjected to chemical adjustments, testing for chemical properties. The required concentration or Sorbitol (70%) is achieved in Evaporators before final testing etc.
