Mannitol

Mannitol is a naturally derived sugar alcohol widely used as a pharmaceutical excipient, food additive, and medical agent due to its excellent stability, low hygroscopicity, and pleasant sweet taste. It appears as a white, crystalline powder and is freely soluble in water. Mannitol is non-cariogenic and has a minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making it suitable for diabetic-friendly formulations.

Uses of Mannitol:

• Used as a diluent and filler in tablets and capsules in pharmaceutical formulations

• Acts as an osmotic diuretic in medical and clinical applications

• Commonly used as a sweetener and bulking agent in food and confectionery products

• Utilized in lyophilized (freeze-dried) injections for improved stability

• Applied in nutraceuticals and dietary supplements
