Mannitol

Mannitol is a white, crystalline solid with a sweet taste and no significant odor; it is non-volatile, highly soluble in water, and melts at approximately 166–170 °C. It is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol (polyol) classified as an organic chemical and a carbohydrate derivative. Industrially, mannitol serves primarily as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations—especially for injectables and oral tablets—and as a bulking agent and texturizer in food products. It is also used in the synthesis of specialty polymers and as a raw material for producing mannitol esters and derivatives employed in coatings and personal care applications. Key application areas include pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and select polymer systems.
