What is mannitol?

Mannitol is a polyol or sugar alcohol widely found in nature. Its molecular formula is C6H14O6, and its relative molecular mass is 182.17. It usually exists in the form of colorless to white needle-shaped or rhombic columnar crystals or crystalline powder. This substance is odorless and has a refreshing sweet taste. Its sweetness is about 57%~72% of sucrose, and the heat generated per gram is about 8.37J, which is only half of glucose. Mannitol absorbs heat when it dissolves, and this property makes it produce a comfortable and refreshing feeling in the mouth. In addition, it is stable to dilute acids and dilute alkalis, is not oxidized by oxygen in the air, and has good chemical stability.

Functions and Applications

Food additives: As a low-calorie sweetener, mannitol is widely used in the production of sugar-free foods and beverages, such as sugar-free chewing gum, candy, biscuits, etc. Its refreshing taste and anti-caries properties make it an ideal ingredient for oral care products such as chewing gum. In addition, mannitol can also play a role in moisturizing and quality improvement in food processing, extending the shelf life of products and improving the taste and texture of products.

Pharmaceutical raw materials: It has diuretic, hypotensive and detoxifying effects, and is used in pharmaceutical chemicals to treat diseases such as acute renal failure, acute glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, edema, etc. Mannitol is also used as a preoperative bowel cleanser to help patients prepare for surgery. Mannitol also plays an important role in the manufacture of chewable tablets such as hangover medicine and mouth fresheners.

Chemical field: Mannitol can be used as a surfactant raw material and a polymer synthesis raw material. Various surfactants prepared by chemical modification, such as mannitol fatty acid esters, are widely used in detergents, cosmetics and other fields. At the same time, polyether polyols synthesized with mannitol as the starting agent are important raw materials for the production of polyurethane foam plastics, elastomers, coatings and other products.

Introduction	Mannitol is a polyol or sugar alcohol. It is a colorless to white needle-shaped or rhombic columnar crystal or crystalline powder. It is odorless and easily soluble in water. It is widely found in plants, algae, edible fungi and lichens. For example, the white powder on the surface of seaweed and dried persimmon is mannitol. As a multifunctional polyol, mannitol has the characteristics of low calories, low hygroscopicity, cool and sweet taste. It is widely used in food, medicine, chemical industry and cosmetics. It is not only an ideal sweetener and anti-adhesive agent, but also plays an important role in dehydration and diuresis in the medical field. At the same time, it is used as a raw material for a variety of chemical products in industrial production.
Function	Diabetes-friendly: Mannitol is not converted into glucose in the body, so it is suitable for diabetic patients. As a low-calorie sweetener, it can meet the sweetness needs of diabetic patients while avoiding blood sugar rise. Diuretic effect: Mannitol promotes the excretion of water from the kidneys by increasing the osmotic pressure of renal tubular fluid, thereby producing a diuretic effect. This property is used in medicine to identify oliguria caused by prerenal factors or acute renal failure, and to prevent acute tubular necrosis caused by various reasons. Intestinal health: Mannitol can selectively promote the growth of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria, thereby helping to maintain the balance of intestinal microorganisms. Non-caries: Since mannitol is not used by bacteria to produce acid in the mouth, it can reduce the risk of tooth corrosion and prevent caries. Blood pressure reduction and detoxification: As a high-osmotic antihypertensive drug, mannitol injection has the characteristics of fast blood pressure reduction and accurate efficacy. It is often used in clinical rescue, especially for brain diseases. At the same time, as a hypertonic tissue dehydrating agent, it can promote excretion and has a detoxifying effect on poisoning caused by overdose of certain drugs.
