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 acyclic form of xylose has chemical formula HOCH 2 (CH(OH))3CHO. The cyclic hemiacetal isomers are more prevalent in solution and are of two types: the pyranoses, which feature six-membered C 5 O rings, and the furanoses, which feature five-membered C 4 O rings (with a pendant CH 2 OH group). Each of these rings is subject to further ...
