D-Mannitol — Food Grade

D-Mannitol is a crystalline polyol (sugar alcohol) with a clean, mildly sweet taste, a strong negative heat of solution that produces a cooling sensation, and very low hygroscopicity compared with most other polyols. It is used as a bulk sweetener, a non-caking dusting and anti-sticking agent, and a direct-compression bulking ingredient.

Where sorbitol or maltitol would pick up moisture and cause tackiness or caking, mannitol stays free flowing. That property, not sweetness, is usually why a formulation specifies it — so a cost-driven swap to another polyol often reintroduces the exact handling problem mannitol was chosen to solve.

Direct-compression granulated grades, spray-dried grades and milled powders differ in flow, compressibility and dissolution. A tablet formulation validated on a granular grade will not behave the same on a milled powder. Send the grade descriptor and particle distribution your process is validated on.

Polyols carry consumption-level labelling requirements in several markets, and tolerance limits are set by the finished-product serving, not by the ingredient. Confirm the labelling position for your destination market and finished-product category before fixing the inclusion level.

State the grade type and particle distribution, the assay and reducing-sugar limits you release against, heavy metal and microbiological limits, whether direct-compression performance is required, and the destination market and finished-product category.

Keep the material sealed, dry, off the floor and away from heat, direct light and strong odours, and re-close partial containers immediately. Confirm the declared shelf life, the storage temperature the shelf life is based on and any re-test interval against the documentation issued for the exact lot supplied.

Allzone Trading is a Canadian B2B sourcing and supply company. Exact grade, specification, packaging, origin, minimum order quantity, lead time, suitability for your application, pricing and supporting documents are confirmed during RFQ review and quotation. Nothing on this page should be read as an offer of a specific grade, potency, certification or availability. The workflow is RFQ, then Allzone customer specification review, then written customer approval, then quotation, then order.

Permitted use, permitted level and required labelling for this material differ by country, by product category and by intended claim. Allzone does not represent that the material is approved for your application in your market. Tell us the destination market and the finished-product category, and the available supplier documentation is provided so your regulatory team can complete its own assessment.

Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
