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.

TACKIDEX® dextrins are derived from pea and potato to enhance crispiness and crunchiness of coatings. TACKIDEX® can also act as a carrier or encapsulant to encapsulated flavors and can also be used for glazing.

LYCATAB® DSH is a high-performance wet granulation binder for swallowable tablets with low impact on dissolution. It is a natural origin binder developed specifically for wet granulation. It is completely soluble in cold water and has excellent wettability. These characteristics make it a versatile excipient whatever the granulation equipment you have available (high shear, fluid bed, twin screew) and whatever the incorporation of your binder (in the dry mix or as a binding solution). The low viscosity benefit to a short granulation process and a low impact of the binder on the disintegration and dissolution profile of your formulation.

XYLISORB® Xylitol powders can be used to provide excipient benefits including coatings, filler and filler/binder while providing nutrient benefits as a bulk sweetener. These benefits can be seen in various oral dosage forms in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications including swallowable tablets and medicated confectionaries. Xylitol is a five-carbon polyol with a characteristic crystalline shape. XYLISORB® is particularly useful as a low calorie sugar-free ingredient that is known for its high natural sweetness. This makes it suitable to be used in formulation addressing all type of patient populations including pediatric and diabetic.

GLYCOLYS® Sodium starch glycolate provides pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers with a range of super-disintegrants for different formulation needs. Our GLYCOLYS® product provides this benefit for swallowable tablets, orally dispersible tablets and hard capsules. Roquette has been producing sodium starch glycolate for more than 20 years. We have developed different grades of GLYCOLYS® to meet specific needs, such as withstanding high shear granulation, acidic conditions or with a low organic solvent content.

SOLUTAB® Croscarmellose sodium is a superdisintegrant that provides an efficient disintegration at low level of use. Disintegration performance is obtained through the wicking and swelling capacity of SOLUTAB® that can be maximized via the selection of its origin (wood or cotton). Three grades are available to help you optimize your product selection. It is flexible as it is adapted to wet and dry granulation or direct compression processes. SOLUTAB® is a crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose sodium. SOLUTAB® can be used in various oral dosage forms in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications as an excipient including swallowable tablets, orally dispersible tablets, hard capsules, blends, granules and pellets premix.
