TACKIDEX® B167 - DEXTRIN

TACKIDEX® Potato dextrins provide a variety of benefits to the manufacturer and consumer as both an excipient and a nutrient. They are white to yellow powders obtained from maize, tapioca, and potato starch by heat treatment. These are ingredients for clinical nutrition and nutraceuticals. Dextrins are starch polymers derived through solid-state heating from partially hydrolysed starch. Dextrinization is a classical starch processing technology that makes partial or complete solubility possible. As an excipient, dextrins are a binder, filler, stabilizer,  suspending agent, and viscosifier. As a nutrient, it is a carbohydrate and fiber source. TACKIDEX® can be used in various oral dosage forms in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, including swallowable tablets, chewable tablets, effervescent tablets, lozenges, hard capsules, soft capsules, coatings, orally dissolving films, blends, granules, pellet premix, medicated confectionary, syrups, suspensions, and liquids.

Cekol

Cekol cellulose gum is a preferred choice as a bio-based and biodegradable hydrocolloid. The raw material selection and adjustment of the production process steps makes it possible to tailor specific Cekol grade’s functionality to different applications. Cekol Cellulose Gum is a water-soluble polymer derived from wood or cotton cellulose and produced to minimum 99.5% purity. Products manufactured from wood cellulose are fulfilling the GMO-free requirements. The product hydrates and dissolves readily in hot and cold water. By choosing the right CEKOL type, the formulator can achieve the desired rheology for any aqueous system, including suspensions and emulsions. Besides controlling the rheology, Cekol cellulose gum is known for its excellent water retaining and film forming capacity.
