Roquette is one of the leading companies providing derivatives and polyols and has developed a wide range of products and services especially dedicated to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Based on this experience Roquette has been widening its range of polyol excipients through technical innovations, combining quality with performance. Roquette offers a wide range of polyols and amongst them, PEARLITOL mannitol. PEARLITOL is a brand name of a range of mannitol dedicated to the manufacture of medicines. Mannitol presents the following features: ➢ Very low hygroscopicity: it does not promote hydrolysis reaction. ➢ Very high chemical stability due to its polyol structure, mannitol does not undergo reducing reaction or discoloration reaction with amino groups (Chemical Inertness). ➢ Wide range of possible applications: ➢ For different forms: - injectable (in solutions or freeze dried) - oral (tablet, chewable tablet, fast dissolving tablet, hard capsule, sachets). ➢ For different processes: - wet or dry granulation - direct compression - freeze-drying.

Moreover, mannitol is non cariogenic and allows free formulation. Mannitol offers unique physical and chemical characteristics and superior performances, making it the best choice in excipients.

The joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Additives (JECFA) has decided in its 30th report (1987) not to specify an acceptable daily intake for mannitol. This means that mannitol is safe. This decision was based on a complete biotoxicological file. In , the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) has followed JECFA’s decision in 1989 regarding the acceptable daily intake.

P H Y S I O L O G I C A L P R O P E R T I E S ...... M. etabolism and tolerance

A minor part of the ingested mannitol is partially absorbed and metabolised. It is passively absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract (as opposed to glucose which is actively absorbed). Mannitol is then partially oxidised into D-fructose by mannitol dehydrogenase and metabolised through a non insulinic glycogenolytic pathway. The major part of the ingested mannitol is not absorbed and goes through to the colon where it is fermented by the colonic microflora. The mannitol which is absorbed is non metabolised, and is directly excreted through the kidney in the urine. The ingestion of mannitol in large quantities can lead to flatulence, laxative effects (osmotic type due to water flowing into intestine lumen). These effects depend on the individual physiologic state, alimentary bolus and its composition...... D. ental aspects

Mannitol is not fermented by the human buccal microflora. Thus, it is neither acidogenic nor cariogenic and these properties grant it a particular status in tooth decay prevention.

Applications

■ Dry forms

PEARLITOL mannitol crystalline powders are highly recommended for the manufacture of dry forms (granules, pellets, tablets) obtained by granulation. The different particle sizes, the non hygroscopicity, the absence of water and the stability give superior performances and improved productivity (ease of drying).

■ Freeze-drying

Mannitol is an interesting excipient for freeze-drying. Its solubility and hygroscopicity properties make it an excellent diluent in this application. Mannitol gives the freeze-dried material an aerated, light and porous structure and prevents it from collapse. Moreover, due to its polyol structure, mannitol acts as a cryoprotective agent.
