Dextrates
Description
This multifunctional compound, a blend of dextrose and other saccharides, is presented as a white, crystalline, and free-flowing powder. It primarily serves as a filler or binder in tablet and capsule manufacturing.
Dextrates are highly soluble in water and possess excellent compressibility, making them ideal for direct compression tablet formulations. They help create robust and durable tablets that disintegrate quickly, enabling the immediate release of active ingredients. This excipient is particularly beneficial in chewable and effervescent tablets, where a pleasant taste and rapid dissolution are essential.
Applications:
- Filler and binder in tablets and capsules
- Base for chewable and effervescent tablets
- Carrier for active ingredients in oral formulations
Features:
- High solubility and excellent compressibility
- Enhances the mechanical strength of tablets
- Promotes rapid disintegration and dissolution
- Offers a sweet flavor profile, ideal for taste-sensitive applications
Compliance: Dextrates meet pharmacopeial standards, such as USP, ensuring their suitability for a wide range of pharmaceutical products.
