Mannitol is a type of
sugar alcohol used as a
sweetener and medication. It is used as a low
calorie sweetener as it is
poorly absorbed by the intestines...

humans also
found benefit from
mannitol. However, a randomized, double-blind
clinical trial found no

Mannitol is no
longer obtained from
natural sources; currently,
sorbitol and

obtained by
hydrogenation of...
- 1-O-α-D-glucopyranosido-D-
mannitol (1,1-GPM) and 6-O-α-D-glucopyranosido-D-sorbitol (1,6-GPS). Each of
these is
composed of two sugars:
glucose and
mannitol in the case...
