Primary alcohol. A primary alcohol is an alcohol which has the hydroxyl group connected to a primary carbon atom. It can also be defined as a molecule containing a ââCH2OHâ group. In contrast, a secondary alcohol has a formula ââCHROHâ and a tertiary alcohol has a formula ââCR2OHâ, where âRâ indicates a carbon-containing group.
The common sugar alcohols â sorbitol, mannitol, maltitol, erythritol, and hydrogenated starch hydrolysates â are manufactured from cornstarch. Xylitol, another common sugar alcohol, is manufactured from such sources as corn cobs, sugar cane bagasse (stalk residue remaining after sugar extraction), or birch wood waste. Isomalt and lactitol are becoming more common and are manufactured from sucrose and whey, respectively.
