Mannitol is a non-hygroscopic sugar alcohol used as a diluent, sweetener, and bulking agent in pharmaceutical and food products.
It offers a pleasant, mild sweetness and characteristic cooling sensation, making it ideal for chewable tablets, lozenges, and orally disintegrating tablets.
Mannitol exhibits excellent chemical stability and compressibility and is suitable for direct compression and freeze-drying formulations.
In parenteral and diagnostic applications, mannitol can function as an osmotic agent and stabilizer.
Its low hygroscopicity and good patient acceptability make it a premium excipient for moisture-sensitive formulations.
