Sorbitol production from glucose was studied to see how it impacts the environment. They used special software to simulate the process and computer tools to measure the environmental effects. The study found that making sorbitol contributes most to global warming. Glucose and electricity are the biggest reasons for this, with the hydrogen reactor using a lot of electricity. It's concluded that using less energy and integrating heat into the process could help make sorbitol production more sustainable and less harmful to the environment.
