Mannitol (D‑Mannitol, CAS No. 69‑65‑8), a natural sugar alcohol (polyol) with molecular formula C₆H₁₄O₆, is a white crystalline powder with mild sweet taste, low hygroscopicity, excellent stability and low glycemic index. As a versatile functional raw material, it is widely used in pharmaceutical excipients, food additives, cosmetics and fine chemical industries. Our factory suppliesPharma Grade, Food Grade, Industrial Grade Mannitol, fully complying with USP, EP, BP, JP, FCC, cGMP, ISO22000 and other international standards, supporting bulk export worldwide with stable quality and competitive prices.
Key Properties
-
Pure white crystal powder, odorless, cool‑sweet flavor (57%‑72% sweetness of sucrose)
-
Non‑hygroscopic, high chemical stability, resistant to moisture absorption and caking
-
Low calorie, non‑cariogenic, suitable for sugar‑free and low‑sugar formulations
-
High water solubility, osmotic pressure activity, ideal for medical dehydration and diuretic applications
-
Strict quality control: heavy metal, microbial and impurity indexes meet global pharmacopoeia standards
Main Applications
1. Pharmaceutical Industry (Core Application)
-
Used as osmotic diuretic & dehydrating agent: Specifically applied in clinical scenarios such as post-craniocerebral trauma, cerebral hemorrhage, and brain tumor surgery to reduce intracranial pressure and relieve cerebral edema; also used in acute glaucoma treatment to quickly lower intraocular pressure, and as an auxiliary diuretic for acute renal injury to promote urine excretion and protect renal function.
-
Tablet/capsule excipient: Serves as a diluent, binder, and anti‑adhesive agent for direct compression, widely used in oral solid preparations such as aspirin tablets, vitamin supplements, chewable tablets for children, and orally disintegrating films for elderly patients, improving tablet compressibility and stability.
-
Stabilizer for lyophilized products: Effectively protects the activity of biological agents (such as vaccines, protein drugs) during freeze-drying, ensuring the efficacy of the final product; also used as an auxiliary material for inhalation preparations for cystic fibrosis patients, helping to dilute sputum and improve breathing.
2. Food & Beverage Industry
-
Low‑calorie sweetener: Applied in sugar-free gum (to extend sweetness and improve chewing texture), sugar-free candies (hard candies, fudge for diabetics), mints, and baked foods (sugar-free cookies, cakes), providing a cool sweet taste without causing blood sugar spikes, suitable for diabetic consumers and weight management groups.
-
Anti‑sticking agent: Used in candy production (such as lollipops, toffee) to prevent adhesion between candies and packaging; also added to rice cakes, pastries, and mooncakes to avoid sticking to molds and hands during processing and storage.
-
Moisturizer and texture improver: Added to beverages (sugar-free fruit juices, functional drinks) to enhance mouthfeel and prevent water loss; used in dairy products (yogurt, milk powder) to improve solubility and maintain product moisture, and in functional foods (meal replacement powders, protein bars) to adjust texture and extend shelf life.
3. Cosmetics & Fine Chemicals
-
Humectant and thickener: Added to skincare products (lotions, creams, serums) to lock in skin moisture, relieve dryness, and improve product texture; used in toothpaste and oral care items to enhance foam stability and reduce oral dryness.
-
Industrial raw material: Serves as a raw material for surfactants (used in daily chemical detergents), resin synthesis (engineering plastics), and biological culture media (microbial fermentation, cell culture); also used as an anti-caking agent in industrial additives.
-
Emerging application: Used as a support material in 3D printing (especially in medical 3D printing of artificial organs and medical devices) due to its good biocompatibility and easy removal; also used as a monomer for biodegradable bioplastics, contributing to environmental protection.
