THE GOOD FROM NATURE
EXPERTS IN THE PRODUCTION OF MANNA AND MANNA FROM FRUCTOSE
The Manna
In Sicily, on the Madonie Mountains, manna is obtained by cutting the trunk of the Fraxinus Ornus and appears as a whitish substance with a sweet taste rich in inulin (a substance similar to starch). The manna, in its various qualities, is collected in the summer season by ash farmers and then spread out in the sun to dry.
It is mainly made up of: mannite (40-60%) organic acids, water, glucose and to a lesser extent levulose, mucilage, resins and nitrogenous compounds.
The active ingredient of manna is mannite or D-mannitol (hexavalent alcohol whose formula is C16 H14 O6) commonly called manna sugar. It is a mild laxative as it acts by osmosis.
Mannite from Fructose
Fructose mannite (D-mannitol) is a hexavalent alcohol found in many plants where it performs the function of attracting water to ensure the survival of plants in times of drought. It is obtained through the processing of fructose present in various vegetables, through a process that keeps its characteristics unchanged. Fructose mannite is mainly used as a refreshing body cleanser, as a delicate laxative and as a sweetener for diabetics, thanks to its characteristic of not significantly influencing blood sugar levels. All our products are gluten and GMO free and are particularly suitable for the elderly and children. They have no side effects or addiction to intake.
