ᴅ-Mannitol is the alcohol form of mannose. Its molar mass is 182 g/mol. Mannitol is present widely in plants, fungi and algae. It is extracted mainly from seaweeds. It is used in food for diabetic patients as it is absorbed slowly. It is commonly used as a stabilizer, humectant, nutritive sweetener and bulking agent in food. ᴅ-Mannitol has been used: •as a hydroxyl radical inhibitor, to detect the hydroxyl radical generation during the reactive oxygen species (ROS) modification of chromatin •in [³H]-mannitol permeability assay and also as a component in buffer B for measuring the transmonolayer dilution potentials •as a component in extracellular recording solution for whole cell patch clamp recordings To gain a comprehensive understanding of our extensive range of Sugar alcohols for your research, we encourage you to visit our Carbohydrates Category page.
