Lactose anhydrous

Lactose anhydrous is a crystalline form of lactose consisting of two monosaccharide molecules. Its CAS NO. is 63-42-3. Anhydrous lactose can be used as a pharmaceutical excipient. The purity of anhydrous lactose can be improved by recrystallization.


Applications:

Pharmaceutical grade: In pharmaceuticals, lactose anhydrous is often used as an excipient in tablets, capsules, etc. It has good fluidity and compressibility which can improve the stability and taste of preparations. 


Food grade: In the food field, lactose anhydrous  is often used as a raw material in baking, sugar making and other processes. It can increase the sweetness and taste of food.


Other industry: In the field of cosmetics, lactose anhydrous is used in the formulation of facial creams, lotions and other products to have moisturizing and softening functions.


Specification:

Items Standard
