Wholesale Factory Supply Mannitol with 99% Purity Food Additive CAS 69-65-8

Mannitol is a polyol that appears as a white crystalline powder with a sweet taste and is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries, serving as a diuretic, dehydrating agent, sweetener, and being used in the manufacture of cosmetics, etc.

(1) Pharmaceutical field: It can be used as a diuretic to promote urine production and increase urine output, which is used to treat diseases such as edema and ascites. It is a commonly used dehydrating agent, which can reduce intracranial pressure and intraocular pressure, and is used to treat cerebral edema, glaucoma, etc. It can also be used as a pharmaceutical excipient to prepare tablets, capsules, etc., improving the formability and stability of drugs.

(2) Food field: It is a low - calorie sweetener, suitable for people with diabetes, obese people, etc. to eat. It can be used as a food humectant to maintain the moisture of food, prevent food from cracking and deteriorating, and prolong the shelf life. It can also be used as a food texture - improving agent to improve the taste and texture of foods such as ice cream and chocolate.

(3) Other fields: In cosmetics, it can be used as a humectant and viscosity regulator to make cosmetics have good moisturizing performance and appropriate consistency. In the chemical industry, it can be used to manufacture chemical products such as surfactants and plasticizers.

(1) Dehydration function: After intravenous injection, it can quickly increase the plasma osmotic pressure, causing the transfer of interstitial fluid to the plasma, thus producing a tissue - dehydrating effect. It can effectively reduce intracranial pressure, intraocular pressure, and cerebrospinal fluid pressure.

(2) Diuretic function: By increasing the blood volume, it can enhance the glomerular filtration rate. Meanwhile, it inhibits the reabsorption of water and electrolytes in the renal tubules, resulting in a diuretic effect. This helps to excrete the excess water and salt in the body, alleviating the symptoms of edema.

(3) Energy - providing function: It can be slowly metabolized in the human body to produce energy. Approximately 1.67 kilocalories of energy can be provided by each gram of mannitol, but its energy - supplying effect is relatively weak.

(4) Stabilization and protection function: In the fields of biological agents and food, mannitol can be used as a stabilizer and protectant to prevent biological active substances such as proteins and cells from being damaged during processes such as freezing and drying, maintaining their activity and stability.

(5) Taste - improving function: As a sweetener, mannitol has a cool, sweet taste, with a sweetness about 0.5 - 0.7 times that of sucrose. It can improve the taste of food and medicine. Moreover, it is not utilized by bacteria in the mouth to produce acid, which has a certain protective effect on teeth.
