More Details:

D-MANNITOL (C₆H₁₄O₆) is a sugar alcohol used in dietary supplement, sweetener, intestinal permeability test for leaky gut, etc. It also serves as a coating for hard candies, dried fruits, and chewing gums due to its low ability to attract and hold water molecules. In addition, it is an osmoprotectant for plants and is used clinically in osmotherapy to reduce intracranial pressure.

Gentaur Genprice D-mannitol assay kit is based on mannitol dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of D-mannitol, which generates D-fructose and NADH that reduces a formazan (MTT) dye. The intensity of product color, measured at 565 nm is directly proportional to D-mannitol concentration in the sample.
