Mannitol - Low-Calorie Sweetener 500g - Sosa

Mannitol: the low-calorie sweetener with hardening properties

Sosa's Mannitol is a 100% pure sweetener derived from glucose, in the form of an odourless white crystalline powder. Its key technical feature: it liquefies at 180°C and caramelises very quickly, forming a hard, opaque caramel with low hygroscopicity — meaning it has little tendency to soften by absorbing ambient moisture. As it does not raise blood sugar levels, it may suit people with diabetes looking to reduce sugar content in certain preparations (we are not qualified to give medical advice — please consult a healthcare professional for any dietary questions).

Applications

• Diabetic-friendly pastry and confectionery: a substitute sweetener for preparations intended for diabetic diets.
• Coatings and crisp layers: thanks to its fast caramelisation and hardness, it is particularly sought after for outer layers such as filled sweets or brittle decorations that need to stay crisp over time.
• General cooking and pastry: usable as a technical sweetener in any preparation requiring a reduced sweetening power.

Use

Heat to 180°C to achieve rapid liquefaction and immediate caramelisation. Its low moisture retention makes it an excellent choice for decorations and coatings that need to keep their crisp hold after preparation.
