description Product Description
D-Mannitol is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as an excipient in tablet formulations. It serves as a diluent and sweetening agent, making it easier to compress tablets and improve their taste. Additionally, it is employed as an osmotic diuretic to reduce intracranial and intraocular pressure, particularly in conditions like cerebral edema and glaucoma. In the food industry, it is utilized as a low-calorie sweetener and texturizing agent, often found in sugar-free chewing gums and diabetic-friendly products. Its ability to absorb moisture also makes it a valuable component in the production of dry powders and coatings. In medical diagnostics, D-Mannitol is used in kidney function tests to assess renal filtration rates. Furthermore, it plays a role in biotechnology as a stabilizer for enzymes and proteins during freeze-drying processes. In the cosmetics industry, it acts as a humectant to provide moisture and help soften skin texture.
