A five-carbon sugar alcohol made from arabinose, used as a low-calorie sweetener and in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products.
From arabinose plus the suffix -ol (indicating an alcohol compound). Developed in the early 20th century as food science advanced.
Arabitol appears naturally in mushrooms and fermented foods, so when you use it as a sweetener, you're basically using something that nature already makes!
