Mannitol is a type of sugar alcohol used as a sweetener and medication. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It is used as a low calorie sweetener as it is poorly absorbed by the intestines . [ 5 ] As a medication, it is used to decrease pressure in the eyes, as in glaucoma , and to lower increased intracranial pressure .
The enzyme mannitol-1-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.22) catalyzes the reaction D -mannitol 1-phosphate + H 2 O ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } D -mannitol + phosphate This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases , specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds.

In enzymology, a d-mannitol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.40) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction mannitol + O 2 ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } mannose + H 2 O 2 Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are mannitol and O 2 , whereas its two products are mannose and H 2 O 2 .
Mannitol motility medium is a bacterial growth medium used to detect the ability of bacteria to ferment mannite and produce nitrogen gas; and to indicate the motility of the organism. [ 1 ] Composition
Mannitol hexanitrate is a powerful explosive. Physically, it is a powdery solid at normal temperature ranges, with density of 1.73 g/cm 3 . The chemical name is hexanitromannitol and it is also known as nitromannite , MHN , and nitromannitol , and by the trademarks Nitranitol and Mannitrin .
Lactitol, erythritol, sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, and maltitol are all classified sugar alcohols (lactitol and maltitol are in fact disaccharide alcohols, since they contain one intact sugar). [1] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies sugar alcohols as " generally recognized as safe " (GRAS).
Maltitol is a sugar alcohol (a polyol) used as a sugar substitute and laxative.It has 75–90% of the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar) and nearly identical properties, except for browning.
