Audited Supplier High Quality Food Sweetener Mannitol
Mannitol, chemical formula C6H14O6, is a sugar alcohol, an isomer of sorbitol, easily soluble in water, a white crystalline powder with a sweet taste similar to sucrose.
Mannitol, also known as mannitol, molecular formula C6H14O6, relative molecular weight 182.17, colorless to white needle or oblique column crystal or crystalline powder. Odorless, with cool and sweet taste. The sweetness is about 57%~72% of sucrose. It produces 8.37 joules of heat per gram, about half that of glucose. Hygroscopicity is small, stable after aqueous solution. Stable to dilute acid, dilute base. It is not oxidized by oxygen in the air. Soluble in water (5.6g/100mL,20ºC) and glycerin (5.5g/100mL), slightly soluble in ethanol (1.2g/100mL), almost insoluble in most other commonly used organic solvents.
Mannitol is a 6-carbon sugar alcohol, which can be made from fructose through catalytic hydrogenation. It has low hygroscopicity, and is often used as a dusting agent in gum candy manufacturing to avoid bonding with manufacturing equipment and packaging machinery. It is also used as a plasticizing system component to maintain its soft properties. It can also be used as a thinner or filler for sugar tablets and as a chocolate-flavored coating for ice cream and candy. Has a pleasant flavor, does not fade at high temperature, chemical properties are not lively. Its pleasant flavor and texture mask vitamin, mineral and herb scents. It is a good low calorie sweetener, gumdrop and candy anti-stick agent, nutritional supplement and tissue modifier, moisturizing agent.
Character: This product is a white crystalline or crystalline powder, odorless. This product is easily soluble in water and almost insoluble or insoluble in ether and ethanol.

---Medical applications
1.Mannitol is a good diuretic in medicine, reducing intracranial pressure, intraocular pressure, and treating kidney diseases, dehydration drugs, sugar substitutes, and also used as an excipient for tablets and a diluent for solids and liquids.
2.Injectio Mannitou has the characteristic of fast and accurate antihypertensive efficacy required by drugs to reduce intracranial pressure. Used for edema caused by traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, hypoxia in brain tissue, edema caused by extensive burns, and ascites glaucoma caused by renal failure. And it can prevent and treat early acute renal insufficiency.
3.As an excipient for tablets, mannitol has no hygroscopicity, fast drying, good chemical stability, and has the characteristics of refreshing and good granulation. It is used in most tablets such as anticancer drugs, antibacterial drugs, antihistamines, and vitamins. In addition, it is also used for chewing tablets such as sobering pills and oral cooling agents.
4.Mannitol, due to its heat absorption and sweet taste when dissolved, is more widely used in the manufacturing of chewing tablets such as sobering pills and oral cooling agents. Its granular form is specifically used as an excipient for direct tablet compression.
---Food sector
1.In terms of food, the product has the smallest water absorption in sugar and sugar alcohol, and has a refreshing sweet taste. It is used for anti sticking of maltose, chewing gum, rice cakes and other foods, as well as for anti sticking powder of general cakes. Dibromomanitol can be prepared through the reaction of hydrobromic acid.
2.It can also be used as food for diabetes patients, bodybuilding food and other low calorie, low sugar sweeteners.
---Industrial production
1. Polymannitol propylene oxide, which is made by pressurizing with mannitol as the initiator, is widely used in the plastic industry. The rigid polyurethane foam based on polymannitol propylene oxide has good oil resistance, heat resistance, oxidation resistance and dimensional stability, and heat resistance up to 180 ºC.
2. In the fine chemical industry, stearic acid mannitol ester is synthesized by esterification reaction of stearic acid and mannitol, and has a wide range of uses: as a food emulsifier and dispersant, it can be widely used in pastries, candies, beverages, and other industries. It is also used as an emulsifier and dispersant in coatings, textiles, daily chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
3. In addition, mannitol is also used to make rosin esters and artificial glycerin resins, explosives, detonators (nitromannitol), as a plasticizer of PVC in the plastic industry, as a humectant in cosmetics, etc. Used for the determination of boron in chemical analysis and as a bacterial culture agent in biological detection.
4. Mannitol (about 7%) is often used to prevent the thickening of the acid making agent aluminum hydroxide suspension, and it is also recommended to use it as a plasticizer for soft capsules. Granular mannitol has good flowability and can be improved by adding it to other non flowable substances, but the amount added should not exceed 25% by weight of the concentration of other substances.
