Description
D-Mannitol, a naturally occurring six-carbon sugar alcohol or polyol, is found in plants such as algae, onions, grasses, and olives. It is considered safe due to its relatively lower glycemic index than sucrose.
Application
in osmotic loading to adjust the osmolarity of solutions
as a component of test sugar solution for cellobiose-mannitol permeability test
as an internal standard in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to compare/analyze the mannitol concentrations in urine samples
to treat the control cells and regulate the osmotic pressure of high glucose
