Mannitol
MANNITOL is a sugar-free, low hygroscopic bulk sweeetner providing stability to confectionary products such as chewing gum, coatings, chewy sweets and marshmallow.
Dental plaque, a sticky bacterial film that develops on dental enamel, reoccurs after every meal. Those microorganisms feed on sugar fermentation, produced by destructive acids attacking the tooths enamel. Mannitol does not produce acids or cause tooth decay, as the oral bacteria do not metabolize them.
European regulation recognizes the nutritional benefits of polyols (Maintenance of Tooth Mineralization, Toothfriendly generic EU claims).
Thanks to its inert properties, Mannitol is used as a dusting agent in sugar-free chewing-gums while also allowing adustment of texture in gums and chewy sweets.
