Overview
D-Mannitol, also known as D-Mannitol or D-Mannose alcohol, is a naturally occurring six-carbon sugar alcohol (polyol) with the chemical formula C6H14O6, molecular weight of 182.17 g/mol, and CAS number 69–65–8. It is one of the most abundant polyols in nature. D-Mannitol is widely found in plants such as algae, onions, grasses, olives, and seaweed, and can also be extracted from kelp or seaweed. In classification, D-Mannitol belongs to the sugar alcohol family of functional sweeteners with excellent physicochemical properties and physiological functions.
D-Mannitol possesses multiple unique performance advantages:
D-Mannitol has approximately 70% of the sweetness of sucrose. Its caloric value is approximately 2 kcal/g, making it a low-calorie sweetener suitable for special foods for diabetic and obese patients.
