TÖUFOOD MANNITÖL

MANNITÖL – MANNITOL POWDER

Mannitol powder is used to sweeten sugar-free candies and pastilles; it is also used to coat various fruits, vegetables, and other products, creating a thin, crisp, and waterproof layer.

It is obtained from fructose or invert sugar (a mixture of glucose and fructose).

Chemically, it is very similar to sorbitol, being isomers.

It has a sweetening power equivalent to 0.6 times that of sugar (sucrose).

In nature, it is found in seaweed and fungi.

Features and applications:

• Used to produce hard lozenges, tablets, chewing gum and, in general, products for diabetics.

• It reduces stickiness and is also used as an anti-caking agent due to its low tendency to retain water.

• After transitioning from a solid to a liquid state, the food is immersed in this polyol. Upon contact with the cold surface of the food, Mannitöl solidifies, forming a thin, crispy, and impermeable layer. To accelerate crystallization, cool the product before immersion.

• Typical dosage: depends on the preparation.

• Available in 500g and 110g packs.
