Applications

Caramelization of different fruits, vegetables and other delicate products creating an ultra-thin, crunchy, and waterproof layer. (by immersion)

Manit is also frequently used as a hard sugar candy (by filling any mold and emptying it immediately), so it creates a thin layer of caramel inside the form. As it cools very fast, it is easy to demold and use in any recipe (filled with a cream, a foam, an ice cream,…). Mitol will keep all the silhouette and texture of the mold.

It can be used with colorants or dyes. When used as a sucrose substitute, it works better in synergy with other sweeteners than alone (to get a stable result, better taste and more balanced sweetness).

Curiosities

E-421

Abundantly present in nature, especially in tree exudates, seaweed, and fungi, but is produced industrially from the hydrogenation of fructose or invert sugar (mixture of glucose and fructose).

In the case of an excessive consumption (just like the rest of the polyols), it can have a laxative effect, since they are only partially absorbed and are not metabolized, exactly as in other poorly digestible carbohydrates.
