Product Overview
D-Mannose (CAS 3458-28-4), also known as D-(+)-Mannose, is a water-soluble monosaccharide used in dietary supplements and nutritional formulations.
Commercial D-Mannose is supplied in powder and granular forms, offering different physical characteristics for blending, filling, packaging, and formulation development.
ANADYO supports international B2B buyers sourcing D-Mannose from China, including ingredient importers, contract manufacturers, and supplement producers evaluating powder or granular grades for their intended applications.
Commercial Specifications & Supply
99% assay is a common commercial specification for D-Mannose. The exact purity and physical properties of the offered powder or granular grade should be reviewed through the corresponding COA with Specifications.

D-Mannose Powder vs. Granules
Although both forms contain D-Mannose as the primary ingredient, their physical characteristics may influence manufacturing efficiency and formulation performance.
Feature | D-Mannose Powder | D-Mannose Granules |
|---|---|---|
Physical Form | Fine crystalline powder | Larger granular particles |
Typical Applications | Capsules, powder blends, drink mixes | Sachets, stick packs, granule-based formulations |
Key Processing Factors | Particle size, blending uniformity, powder handling | Granule size, flowability, filling consistency |
Quality Considerations | Assay, moisture, particle characteristics | Assay, granule composition, particle distribution |
Choosing Powder
D-Mannose Powder is suitable for evaluation in capsules, nutritional powder blends, and formulations where a relatively fine ingredient is preferred.
Manufacturers should review particle-size distribution, bulk density, flowability, and blending compatibility according to their production equipment.
Choosing Granules
D-Mannose Granules may be preferable for certain sachet-filling and stick-pack applications where larger particles or particular material-handling properties are required.
However, granules should not automatically be considered free-flowing, instant-dissolving, or suitable for direct compression. These characteristics depend on the selected grade and processing method.
Buyers should also verify whether the granular product contains additional carriers, binders, or processing aids.
Applications & Formulation Considerations
Dietary Supplement Capsules & Tablets
D-Mannose is used in single-ingredient and combination dietary supplement formulations.
For capsule production, powder flow, bulk density, and filling consistency are important considerations. Tablet manufacturers should additionally evaluate compressibility and compatibility with other formulation ingredients.
The selection of powder or granular D-Mannose should be based on the intended manufacturing process rather than physical appearance alone.
Sachets & Stick Packs
D-Mannose can be incorporated into portioned powder products, including single-serving sachets and stick packs.
Depending on the filling equipment and formulation, manufacturers may prefer a specific particle-size distribution or flow profile.
Granular grades can be evaluated where improved handling is desired, but actual filling performance must be confirmed through manufacturing trials.
Drink Powders & Water-Soluble Formulations
D-Mannose is soluble in water and can be used in powdered drink preparations.
Both powder and granular forms may be suitable, although dissolution time can vary with particle size, mixing conditions, temperature, and the presence of other formulation ingredients.
Formulators should evaluate the finished product under its intended preparation and storage conditions.
Quality Documentation & Supplier Qualification
Quality Evaluation
For D-Mannose procurement, important quality parameters include:
- Identity & Assay: Verification of D-Mannose identity, declared purity, and analytical method.
- Particle Characteristics: Review of the selected powder or granular specification.
- Moisture & Storage: Assessment of moisture limits and appropriate storage conditions.
- Physical Properties: Evaluation of bulk density, flowability, and relevant processing characteristics.
- Ingredient Composition: Confirmation of any additional ingredients or processing aids in the granular form.
- Quality Controls: Review of applicable microbiological and contaminant limits.
The corresponding COA with Specifications should be evaluated for the actual grade being purchased.
Certification & Manufacturing Documentation
International buyers may have additional requirements for product certification or manufacturing-site qualification.
For buyers requiring Halal, Kosher, FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP, or other relevant documentation, ANADYO can review the requested requirements against the selected D-Mannose grade and supply source.
Certification availability, validity, and coverage must be verified before confirmation. Manufacturing-site certifications should not be interpreted as independent certifications of every product manufactured at that facility.
Buyers with USDA Organic or EU Organic requirements should specify the applicable certification and origin criteria for separate sourcing evaluation.
FAQ
Are D-Mannose Powder and D-Mannose Granules interchangeable?
Not necessarily. Although both forms contain D-Mannose, their particle characteristics, physical properties, and any additional processing ingredients may differ. Manufacturers should evaluate the selected grade before substituting one form for another.
Which form is more suitable for sachets or stick packs?
Both forms may be suitable, depending on the filling equipment and formulation requirements. Granular grades can be considered where specific particle-size or handling characteristics are desired, but their performance should be verified through trials.
Can I order samples of both powder and granular D-Mannose?
ANADYO supports sample orders from 1 kg. Buyers may specify powder, granules, or both for evaluation, with grade-specific sample availability confirmed during quotation.
