Lactose Monohydrate

Product Description

Lactose Monohydrate Powder is a high-purity, naturally derived disaccharide obtained from milk. It appears as a white, crystalline, free-flowing powder with a mild sweet taste and excellent stability. Widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and nutraceutical applications, it serves as an effective filler, diluent, and carrier due to its superior compressibility and flow properties.

In pharmaceutical formulations, Lactose Monohydrate is commonly used in tablets and capsules to ensure uniformity, stability, and ease of processing. In food applications, it acts as a mild sweetener and bulking agent, enhancing texture and flavor. The product is chemically stable, non-toxic, and compatible with a wide range of ingredients, making it a reliable and cost-effective excipient across multiple industries.
