(Sweetening Agent / Bulking Agent)
by Muby Chem
Muby Chem operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility producing Maltitol, known for its exceptional purity and efficacy. This compound is particularly valuable in the pharmaceutical industry.
Our advanced technology ensures the ideal particle size and shape of Maltitol, enabling the formulation of highly effective products a low-calorie sweetening agent, bulking agent and flavor-masking.
Application: MOLSUGAR™ M is primarily used as a sweetening agent, providing approximately 75% to 90% of the sweetness of sucrose while effectively masking the bitter or unpleasant tastes of active pharmaceutical ingredients to improve patient compliance. It is widely used in powder blends, tablets and capsules as a bulking agent to provide adequate volume and ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredient. It plays a crucial role in the formulation of diabetic-friendly and tooth-friendly pharmaceutical products by delivering a sugar-like taste without significantly affecting blood glucose levels or promoting dental caries.
