Does sorbitol dissolve in ethanol? I know Sorbitol, $\ce{C_6H_14O_6}$ $$\ce {C(OH)H_2 (C(OH)H)_4C(OH)H_2}$$is soluble in water however I did not have much luck finding out whether or not it is soluble in ethanol. My guess is that it isn't however I am not so sure.

Is Sorbitol soluble in ethanol?
Sorbitol's solubility in ethanol seems to be very temperature dependent according to the Merck Index$^{[1]}$


  Freely sol in water (up to 83%); sol in methanol, isopropanol, butanol, cyclohexanol, phenol, acetone, acetic acid, dimethylformamide, pyridine, acetamide solutions; practically insoluble in most other org solvents; quite soluble in hot alcohol, sparingly soluble in cold alcohol
