Mannitol, a sugar alcohol, is commonly used in the food and beverage industry for various purposes. Mannitol is a low-calorie sweetener with approximately 50-70% of the sweetness of sugar. It is often used in sugar-free and reduced-sugar products for its ability to provide sweetness without contributing to calorie content. It can replace sugar in various food applications, including candies, chewing gums, chocolates, and baked goods. It provides similar taste and texture to sugar, making it an ideal substitute. It can act as a bulking agent, adding volume and texture to food products without significantly increasing the calorie content. It is commonly used in powdered drink mixes and dessert toppings. Due to its ability to retain moisture and form a gel-like consistency, Mannitol is used as a thickener in various food products. It aids in improving the texture and mouthfeel of beverages, sauces, and toppings. It is used as a stabilizer in ice creams, frozen desserts, and dairy products. It prevents the formation of ice crystals, enhances product stability, and improves the overall quality of frozen products. It is used as a coating agent for chewing gums, candies, and confectionery. It provides a protective layer, prevents moisture absorption, and enhances the product’s appearance. Mannitol has high water content retention properties, making it useful as a humectant. It helps to retain moisture in food products, preventing them from becoming dry or stale.
