Use & Application
USP grade anhydrous lactose is a premium excipient for pharmaceutical tablets and capsules. It acts as diluent, filler and binder, especially suitable for moisture-sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients. It improves powder flow and tablet hardness, commonly applied in direct compression formulations.
Food grade anhydrous lactose functions as mild sweetener, carrier for food flavors and anti-caking agent. It is used in confectionery, bakery products, nutritional supplements and infant nutrition formulations to adjust taste, stabilize aroma and optimize product texture.
