Brands in Flavors & Taste Maskers

Flavor harmonizer and mouthfeel modulators

CAVAMAX® is the trade name for cyclodextrins from WACKER. We are the only company in the world to manufacture all three naturally occurring cyclodextrins – α, β and γ (CAVAMAX® W6, W7 and W8). CAVAMAX® cyclodextrins have unique properties resulting in a wide range of functionalities, such as stabilization, rheology control, masking of bitterness or increasing bioavailability and much more. This paves the way for innovative food, pharma and industrial applications.

Kollicoat® polymers can also be used for taste masking to improve patient compliance. While these excipients are predominantly used for oral applications, coating polymers can also be utilized for the development of topical films and transdermal patches as film and matrix formers, respectively. The Kollicoat® family of coating polymers consists of a broad range of chemistries to address various film coating challenges.

Flavors with modulating properties

TYLOPUR® is a versatile hypromellose, compliant with USP, JP, EP. The low viscosity grades are especially suitable for the design of film-coated tablet formulations. In addition, TYLOPUR® is effective as a binder, since it does not interact with drugs. It has superior stability, a non-ionic character and is widely used as a binder for granulation. Due to its plant derived nature and excellent moisture stability, TYLOPUR® replaces gelatin in hard capsule manufacturing.

Real Stevia™ are the natural Stevia extract can be used instead of sugar and artificial sweeteners.

As reducing sugar consumption has become a global concern, consumers are actively seeking out foods and beverages with lower sugars – but few are willing to give up the satisfaction of sweetness. Zerose™ erythritol – derived via the age-old process of fermentation from corn, and with zero calories – is ideal for creating great-tasting reduced-sugars and no added sugars products. It restores much needed bulk after reducing sugars in formulations.Thanks to its clean taste and functionality close to sucrose, Zerose™ erythritol enables significant sugar reduction in a wide range of applications. Thanks to its strong cooling effect and oral health benefits it is also commonly used in dental care and gums.

SweetPearl® maltitol powder is a versatile polyol, a tooth friendly sugar substitute. It is a sugar alcohol similar to Xylitol and Sorbitol.   Benefits: + Lower glycemic index than sugar + Does not cause tooth decay + Fewer calories than sugar gram for gram + Safe sugar substitute   Maltitol is a substitute for Sucrose and is derived from corn.   Commonly used as a sweetener in: + Desserts + Gum + Mouthwash + Vitamins and other potentially bitter foods and supplements + Dairy + Diabetic products + Other candy, confections and sweetened foods

NEOSORB® are sugar-free, low caloric bulk sweeteners providing a variety of functional properties in confectionery and seafood products, offering a wide range of textures for tooth-friendly chewing-gums contributing to oral health. Dental plaque, a sticky bacterial film that develops on dental enamel, reoccurs after every meal. Those microorganisms feed on sugar fermentation, produced by destructive acids attacking the teeth's enamel. NEOSORB® sorbitol powder does not produce acids or cause tooth decay as they are not metabolized by the oral bacteria.

XYLISORB® Xylitol sugar-free sweetener with a high cooling effect.

NEOSORB® PF is a pyrogen-free sorbitol used for parenteral preparations. In API applications it is used as a carbohydrate source and osmotic diuretic agent in large volume parenteral injectables.  In excipient applications it is used for Rx injectables as an isotonic agent. Sorbitol is also used as an irrigating fluid for surgical procedures, to prevent intra- and extra-cellular dehydration.

LYCASIN® Maltitol Syrup is a sugar substitute with a sweet flavor used in a variety of applications including baking, cereals & snacks and confectionary. LYCASIN Maltitol Syrups were specifically developed to not produce acids or cause tooth decay as they are not metabolized by the oral bacteria.

PEARLITOL® Flash Co-processed mannitol starch provides excipient functional properties of filler/binder as well as some disintegrant benefit to your orally dispersable tablets. PEARLITOL® Flash offers excellent chemical inertness, consistent rapid disintegration whatever the compression force making tablet formulation surprisingly simple. It is a compound of mannitol and starch adapted to direct compression formulation. PEARLITOL® Flash can be used in various oral dosage forms in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications including fast disintegrating tablets and orally dispersible tablets.

KLEPTOSE® Beta-cyclodextrins are efficient solubilizers, stabilization enhancers and taste-masking agents. A full range is available for use in many dosage forms, from solid to liquid. Molecular encapsulation with beta-cyclodextrins is an accepted and useful tool for pharmaceutical formulators, with many pharmaceutical products containing cyclodextrin complexes on the market. Roquette has developed a wide range of KLEPTOSE® offering features like low water content, various particle size and directly compressible properties with KLEPTOSE® DC. Roquette has pioneered the industrial development of cyclodextrins with its KLEPTOSE® range of beta-cyclodextrins. KLEPTOSE® 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, orally dissolving films, blends, granules, pellets premix, medicated confectionary, syrups, suspensions and liquids.
