Mannitol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- D-Mannitol
- E421
Mannitol supplier in Malaysia for food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and dry-mix manufacturers. Also called D-mannitol and identified as E421 in food use, it is a crystalline sugar alcohol supplied as powder or granules for formulations that specify its particular handling and performance.
Food-grade powder is used in confectionery, chewing gum, dusting and dry blends, while pharmaceutical or compendial grades are selected for suitable tablets, capsules, powders and oral formulations. Granular and direct-compression options address flow, compressibility, particle-size and dust-control requirements in solid-dose production.
Although mannitol belongs to the polyol family, it is not interchangeable with sorbitol, maltitol, xylitol or erythritol. Buyers should state the exact ingredient, grade and governing specification because each product has different formulation behaviour and commercial controls.
Send the required grade, form, compendial standard if applicable, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. A 25 kg bag is a known option, while availability, final packing, documentation, delivery timing and price are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about mannitol
Are mannitol, D-mannitol and E421 the same product?
Yes. D-mannitol identifies the same sugar alcohol, and E421 is its food additive code. State the grade, powder or granular form and intended use because commercial specifications differ.
Is mannitol the same as sorbitol or maltitol?
No. Mannitol, sorbitol and maltitol are separate polyols with different identities, solubility, sweetness, processing behaviour and commercial grades. Order the ingredient named in the formulation by its own name.
Should I request powdered or granular mannitol?
Fine powder suits many food, pharmaceutical and premix uses. Granular or direct-compression grades are selected when tablet flow, compressibility, lower dust or a defined particle-size distribution is important.
What is the difference between food and pharmaceutical mannitol?
Both are mannitol, but pharmaceutical or compendial grades are matched to a named standard with its own identity, purity, impurity and document requirements. Provide the governing standard with the enquiry.
Can mannitol be quoted in a 25 kg bag?
A 25 kg bag is a known commercial option. Include the preferred net weight, total quantity, grade and document requirements in the enquiry; the final packing is confirmed with the quotation.
What affects the quoted mannitol price?
Price depends on food or pharmaceutical grade, powder or granular form, compendial requirement, particle-size profile, quantity and delivery location. Quotations carry a stated validity period.
