Xylitol

Mannitol is a white crystalline organic compounds formula.It flowering ash, called nectar, their similarities to the Bible after the discharge of food from the initial separation, also known as mannitol and mannose.

Mannitol is usually formed by hydrogenation of fructose, which is either formed from starch or sweetener.Eventually, it produces contains about 42% of fructose, glucose 52%, 6% maltose syrup. Hydrolysis of sucrose is simply an inverted syrup, which contains about 50% fructose.Mannitol is in the nature's most abundant energy and carbon storage too many organisms, including bacteria, yeast, fungi, algae, lichens, one molecule many plants.

When any of these organisms use food-grade strains, mannitol and the organism itself is directly applicable to food, to avoid the need to carefully separate microorganisms and mannitol crystals. Although this is a promising approach, steps are necessary, it is the size of the number required by industry.

Mannitol as food additives concentration range of plant secretions of algae in the plane tree in 20% to 90%. Traditionally, the mannitol extraction, Soxhlet extraction, using ethanol, water, methanol, steam, and then hydrolysis of the crude material. The fluid in such a stage, without any liquid and gas phase differences between, so fluid than normal diffusion.Mannitol in osmotherapy clinical use to reduce the acute intracranial pressure, until more specific treatment can be applied. It is administered intravenously, by renal glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, but can not reduce the water and Na + reabsorption through the osmosis.
