Recommended Sweeteners for Pharmaceutical Applications
Bulk Sorbitol
Sorbitol is a widely used sweetener and excipient in oral medications, syrups, and sugar-free formulations. It provides smooth mouthfeel, moisture retention, and stability while maintaining a pleasant taste for patients.
Bulk Maltitol
Used in sugar-free syrups and tablets, maltitol provides clean sweetness and high solubility. It is stable under heat and acid, making it suitable for diverse pharmaceutical applications.
Bulk Mannitol
Mannitol is ideal for chewable tablets and lozenges due to its cooling effect, non-cariogenic properties, and low hygroscopicity. It improves product texture and compressibility in tablet manufacturing.
Bulk Xylitol
Xylitol offers sweetness similar to sucrose and is common in oral care, chewables, and functional supplements. It supports dental health and is gentle on sensitive formulations.
Bulk Sucralose
Sucralose is a zero-calorie, high-intensity sweetener that remains stable under high temperatures. It is often used in pediatric medicines and liquid formulations for consistent flavor and shelf life.
Bulk Aspartame & Acesulfame Potassium
These high-intensity sweeteners are frequently combined to achieve desired sweetness and balance in chewable and orally disintegrating tablets. Both are heat-stable and low in calories.
Bulk Dextrose
Dextrose serves as both a sweetener and carrier in oral rehydration solutions, energy supplements, and powdered medications. It offers excellent solubility and patient acceptability.
