(Sweetening agent / Flavoring Agent)
by Muby Chem
Muby Chem operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility producing Saccharin, 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 Saccharin, enabling the formulation of highly effective products a sweetener and flavoring agent.
Application: MOLSUGAR™ SAS is primarily used in pharmaceutical formulations to mask the unpleasant or bitter taste of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), thereby enhancing patient compliance, particularly in pediatric medicines, oral syrups, chewable tablets and lozenges. It is widely used in syrups, suspensions and chewable tablets to counterbalance the bitter, metallic or chalky flavors of medications, making them more palatable. Due to its intense sweetness, approximately 300–500 times greater than that of sucrose, without contributing significant calories or carbohydrates.
