The MALTISORB® brochure offers detailed information about this excipient and its physiological, physical and chemical properties. Details of typical pharmaceutical applications, and general information about packaging are also included.
MALTISORB® crystalline maltitol is a bulk sweetener for the manufacture of sugar-free medicines; it can be used alone or in combination with other excipients. Because its sweetness and physico-chemical characteristics are very close to those of sucrose, MALTISORB® maltitol is the most effective substitute for sugar. MALTISORB® crystalline maltitol is an excipient of choice in a range of applications, for which it offers a number of benefits:
- Powder forms: free-flowing, excellent solubility and a pleasant sweet taste. Its hygroscopicity is low and as a diluent it is compatible with water-sensitive active ingredients.
- Tablet forms: high sweetening power. Due to its low hygroscopicity and good solubility, it is used as a filler in the formulation of effervescent tablets.
- Sugar-free tablet coating: operational conditions similar to those required for sucrose.
Moreover, maltitol is non-cariogenic, has a low energy value and a low glycaemic index.
