General 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
D-Mannitol has been used:
- 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
D-mannitol has been used as a hydroxyl radical scavenger and as a medium supplement.
Biochem/physiol Actions
D-Mannitol may play an important role in lipolysis and fat oxidation as it can enhance the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC). It serves as an anti-obesity supplement. D-Mannitol stimulates the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which regulate lipid metabolism in the liver.
A sugar alcohol sweet tastant. Used in sweetness inhibition studies.
