Key Benefits

Moderate Sweetness

Mannitol provides approximately 55–65% of the sweetness of sucrose, according to the supplied product information. The final sweetness and texture depend on the recipe and use level.

Useful in Sugar-Free Products

Mannitol can be used in suitable sugar-free or reduced-sugar products, including hard candy and chewing gum. Product suitability should be assessed for each formulation.

White Crystalline Appearance

Mannitol is typically supplied as a white crystalline powder or granules. Particle size and physical form should be selected according to the production process.

Low Hygroscopicity

Mannitol has relatively low moisture absorption compared with some other sugar alcohols, which can be useful in certain confectionery applications. Confirm performance in the finished formulation.

Application Selection Guide

Sugar-Free Candy	To be confirmed	Sweetness + bulk	Texture, crystallization, processing conditions
Chewing Gum	To be confirmed	Sweetness + bulk	Particle size, texture, dissolution
Health Supplements	To be confirmed	Bulking / formulation ingredient	Grade suitability and applicable standards
Pharmaceutical Applications	To be confirmed	Excipient / formulation ingredient	Pharmaceutical grade and pharmacopoeia requirements
Other Suitable Foods	To be confirmed	Sweetness + bulk	Check regulatory suitability and recipe compatibility

Quality & Compliance

Quality documentation can be provided according to the selected grade and order requirements:

• COA, when available for the selected grade

• Product Specification

• Technical Data Sheet, when required

Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade requirements are different. Please confirm the intended application and destination-market requirements before product approval.

Quality Control & Batch Documentation

Quality parameters should be checked against the specification for the selected grade. Batch-specific COA availability and details can be confirmed before ordering.

If you share your target specification and application, we can confirm which grade is suitable and provide the corresponding documentation.

Packaging & Supply

Standard commercial packaging and loading information from the supplied product information:

• 25 kg/bag

• 750 kg/pallet

• Approximately 15 MT per small container

• No minimum order quantity restrictions

For bulk orders, the final quantity, lead time, shipping port and delivery details can be confirmed according to the selected grade and destination.

Customization

Mannitol can be assessed alongside other sweeteners or formulation ingredients when a product needs a particular sweetness, texture or processing performance. Compatibility should be checked for each recipe.

Mannitol + Other Polyols

A possible option for adjusting sweetness, bulk and texture in sugar-free confectionery, depending on the target product.

Mannitol + High-Intensity Sweeteners

A possible option when the formulation needs mannitol for bulk and another sweetener to adjust sweetness.

Mannitol + Dietary Fiber

A possible option for selected food formulations that require both sweetness and added fiber, subject to compatibility testing.

Mannitol + Other Ingredients

Other combinations can be discussed based on the application, target specifications and processing conditions.
