    This feasibility study examines producing sorbitol from maize starch. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener and additive in foods, pharmaceuticals, and other industries. The study explores hydrogenation and enzymatic techniques to convert maize starch into sorbitol using raw materials and equipment costing between 15,000 and 80,000 Egyptian pounds depending on variables like material and dollar prices and availability. The estimated plant would have a capacity of 20 to 60 tons per day.
