D-Mannitol Powder Usage and Synthesis.

D-Mannitol is a white crystal or crystalline powder, odorless, sweet taste, soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, almost insoluble in ether. It has a wide range of applications in food, medicine and other fields. In the food industry, D-mannitol can be used as sweetener, humectant, preservative and so on.

In the field of medicine, it has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic and other effects, can be used to treat diabetes, liver disease and other diseases. In addition, D-mannitol can also be used as a moisturizer and lubricant in cosmetics.

D-mannitol is used as a food additive in Yangshengtang collagen powder products. Although Yangshengtang has provided approval documents for the use of D-mannitol in a variety of similar commodities, there is still controversy as to whether it can be used as a food additive in food categories other than confectionery.

Uses and Function of D-Mannitol.

D-mannitol in medicine is a good diuretic, reduce intracranial pressure, intraocular pressure and treatment of renal drugs, dehydrating agents, sugar substitutes, also used as excipients for tablets and solid, liquid diluent.

Mannitol Injection, as a high osmotic hypotensive drug, is a commonly used drug for clinical rescue, especially for brain diseases, with the characteristics of fast pressure reduction and accurate efficacy required for drugs to reduce intracranial pressure.

As an excipient for tablets, mannitol is non-hygroscopic, fast drying, good chemical stability, and has the characteristics of crispness, good granulation, etc. It is used in most of the tablets such as anticancer drugs, antibacterial drugs, antihistamines and vitamins.

In addition, it is also used in chewable tablets such as sobriety medicine and mouth coolant. In terms of food, D-mannitol in sugar and sugar alcohols in the minimum water absorption, and has a refreshing sweetness, used for maltose, chewing gum, rice cakes and other food products, anti-stick, as well as used as a general pastry anti-stick powder.

Can also be used as food for diabetics, bodybuilding food and other low calorie, low sugar sweetener. In industry, mannitol can be used in the plastics industry, the production of rosin acid ester and margarine resin, explosives, detonators (nitro-mannitol) and so on. In chemical analysis for the determination of boron, biological testing used as a bacterial culture agent.

Mannitol can be absorbed by the human stomach and intestines, but does not accumulate in the body. After being absorbed, part of it is metabolized in the body, and the other part is excreted from the urine; dibromomannitol can be produced by hydrobromic acid reaction.

Characteristic of D-Mannitol.

D-Mannitol, colorless to white needle-like or rhomboid columnar crystals or crystalline powder. Odorless, with a cool sweet taste. Sweetness is about 57% to 72% of sucrose. Produces 8.37J of heat per g, about half of glucose. Contains a small amount of sorbitol.

Relative density 1.49, spin rate [α]D20-0.40°(10% aqueous solution). Hygroscopicity is very small. Stable in aqueous solution. Stable to dilute acid and alkali. Not oxidized by oxygen in air. Soluble in water (5.6g/100ml, 20°C) and glycerol (5.5g/100m1). Slightly soluble in ethanol (1.2g/100m1). Soluble in hot ethanol. Almost insoluble in most other commonly used organic solvents.

The pH of 20% aqueous solution is 5.5-6.5.

Product Methods of  Bulk D-Mannitol Powder.

50% sucrose aqueous solution in nickel-catalyzed hydrogenation, about one-fourth of the conversion into mannitol, the rest into sorbitol, and then crystallized, separated, refined and obtained. Can also be iodized kelp soaked, neutralized with alkali, electrodialysis, concentration, crystallization, separation, and refined.
