I N T R O D U C T I O N

Roquette is one of the leading companies providing starch derivativesand polyols and has developed a wide range of products and servicesespecially dedicated to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.Based on this experience Roquette has been widening its range ofpolyol excipients through technical innovations, combining qualitywith performance. Roquette offers a wide range of polyols and amongstthem, PEARLITOL mannitol.

PEARLITOL is a brand name of a range of mannitol dedicated to themanufacture of medicines. Mannitol presents the following features:

➢ Very low hygroscopicity: it does not promote hydrolysisreaction.

➢ Very high chemical stability due to its polyol structure,mannitol does not undergo reducing reaction or discolorationreaction 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 sugar freeformulation.

Mannitol offers unique physical and chemical characteristics andsuperior performances, making it the best choice in excipients.

Mannitol and sorbitol are separated by their difference inaqueous solubility (water is the only process solvent). Theisolated mannitol is a white crystalline powder of very highpurity. It is further transformed into a complete range ofPEARLITOL mannitol powders which is manufactured in a dedicated ISO 9002 certified plant.

The range of mannitol consists of 8 different grades:

➢ PEARLITOL 160 C standard mannitol

➢ PEARLITOL 50 C fine grade

➢ PEARLITOL 25 C very fine grade

➢ PEARLITOL PF pyrogen free grade

➢ PEARLITOL 100 SD spray-dried grade for directcompression

➢ PEARLITOL 200 SD spray-dried grade for directcompression

➢ PEARLITOL 300 DC fine granulated grade fordirect compression

➢ PEARLITOL 400 DC medium granulated grade for direct compression

➢ PEARLITOL 500 DC coarse granulated grade for direct compression

D E S C R I P T I O N

Mannitol takes its

name from manna,

a sweet exsudate from

the manna ash (Fraxinus

ornus), of which it is

the major constituent.

Mannitol also occurs

in olives, figs and larches,

in certain species of edible

fungi, and in seaweed

(laminaria species).

D-mannitol was originally

obtained industrially

by an extraction process.

Whereas, since the

beginning, Roquette has

developped a manufacture

process of mannitol based

upon starch, natural raw

material of vegetable

origin. Starch is

transformed into a glucose

mannose solution which

gives mannitol through

catalytic hydrogenation

according to the following

reaction:

Glucose + Mannose Sorbitol + Mannitol

The joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has decided in its 30th

report (1987) not to specify an acceptable daily intake for mannitol. This means that mannitol issafe. This decision was based on a complete biotoxicological file.

In Europe, the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) has followed JECFA’s decision in 1989regarding the acceptable daily intake.

A minor part of the ingested mannitol is partiallyabsorbed and metabolised. It is passivelyabsorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract (asopposed to glucose which is actively absorbed).Mannitol is then partially oxidised into D-fructoseby mannitol dehydrogenase and metabolisedthrough a non insulinic glycogenolytic pathway.

The major part of the ingested mannitol is notabsorbed and goes through to the colon where it is fermented by the colonic microflora.

The mannitol which is absorbed is nonmetabolised, and is directly excreted through the kidney in the urine.

The ingestion of mannitol in large quantities canlead to flatulence, laxative effects (osmotic typedue to water flowing into intestine lumen). Theseeffects depend on the individual physiologic state,alimentary bolus and its composition.

P H Y S I O L O G I C A L P R O P E R T I E S

Metabolism and tolerance

Dental aspects

Mannitol is not fermented by the human buccal microflora. Thus, it is neither acidogenic norcariogenic and these properties grant it a particular status in tooth decay prevention.

Mannitol is remarkably stable:

- it does not react with diluted acids, buffer solutions or amino groups. No Maillard reactionof the type: R-CHOH-CHO + R’-NH2 RCO-CH2-NHR’+ H2O

- it does not undergo discoloration reaction at temperatures below 220°C or 240°C(depending on prevailing conditions).

Due to its chemical properties and itsvery high purity, Mannitol is non-hygroscopic. Mannitol takes up wateronly above relative humidities of97% at 20°C and 40°C.

Stability

Mannitol is soluble in different solvents at 20°C (part/part)*:

➢ Water : 1 in 5.5➢ Ethanol (95%) : 1 in 83➢ Ether : practically insoluble➢ Glycerin : 1 in 18➢ Propanol-2 : 1 in 100➢ Alkalis : soluble

A negative heat of solution is the origin of the cooling effect experienced afteringestion of mannitol powder (value of - 30 cal/g).* From “Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients” Third Edition, p. 325, A.H. Kibbe, Pharmaceutical Press, London, UK.

■ Dry forms

PEARLITOL mannitol crystalline powders are highly recommended for the manufactureof dry forms (granules, pellets, tablets) obtained by granulation. The different particlesizes, the non hygroscopicity, the absence of water and the stability give superiorperformances 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 andprevents it from collapse. Moreover, due to its polyol structure, mannitol acts as a cryoprotective agent.
