Chemical Structural:

Mannitol is a sugar alcohol or a polyol which presents in many plants, e.g. conifers, seaweed and mushrooms. It is commercially produced from glucose (dextrose). It is used in bakery and confectionery products as anti-caking agent, low-calorie sweetener (It does not promote tooth decay), bulking agent, etc.
Mannitol and sorbitol are isomers, mannitol has a tendency to lose a hydrogen ion in aqueous solutions, which causes the solution to become acidic.
In pharmaceutical, Mannitol is used as an osmotic diuretic to prevent and treat acute renal failure, to promote excretion of toxic substances, to reduce both intracranial pressure and intraocular pressure, to eliminate hydrocephalus. It also can prevent arteriosclerosis, meningitis and have certain effect on treating diabetes. It can be used as excipient and filler for tablets.
