Product Description

Lactose is a large sugar molecule that is made up of two smaller sugar molecules, glucose and galactose. In order for lactose to be absorbed from the intestine and into the body, it must first be split into glucose and galactose. The glucose and galactose are then absorbed by the cells lining the small intestine.

Premium Quality Lactose for Pharmaceuticals and Food

Our lactose stands out for its exceptional purity and compliance with major pharmacopeial grades (USP/BP/EP). It is ideal for use as a filler and binder in pharmaceutical tablets and capsules, offering excellent flow properties and solubility. Its odorless and slightly sweet profile also makes it suitable for a variety of food industry applications, specifically where a neutral but functional carbohydrate is desired.

Consistent Specifications and Reliable Supply

Available in powder form with particle sizes ranging from 40-100 mesh, our lactose is supplied in robust bags or drums to ensure protection during transport and storage. With strict limits on moisture (0.1% max) and heavy metals (0.001% max), you receive a consistently high-quality product. Distributors, exporters, and manufacturers across India rely on us for dependable delivery and technical support.

FAQs of lactose:

Q: How should lactose be stored to maintain its shelf life and quality?

A: Lactose should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Proper storage in its original packing, whether bag or drum, helps maintain its shelf life of up to 2 years and ensures the product remains stable.

Q: What are the main applications of lactose in the pharmaceutical and food industries?

A: Lactose is primarily used as a filler or carrier in tablet and capsule formulations within the pharmaceutical industry. In the food sector, it acts as a carbohydrate source and texturizer, leveraging its solubility, neutral taste, and safety profile.

Q: When is lactose suitable for use in pharmaceutical formulations?

A: Lactose of USP/BP/EP grade and minimum purity of 99% is suitable for pharmaceutical use, meeting stringent quality and safety requirements for drug formulations, especially as a binder, filler, or diluent.

Q: Where is this pharmaceutical-grade lactose manufactured and supplied?

A: This high-purity lactose is produced in India, where it is distributed, exported, and supplied to pharmaceutical and food manufacturers both domestically and internationally.

Q: What process ensures the lactose powder meets international safety standards?

A: The manufacturing process adheres to rigorous quality controls, with regular testing for parameters like assay (minimum 99%), moisture content (0.1% max), and heavy metal impurities (0.001% max), in line with international pharmacopeial standards.

Q: How is the particle size of lactose relevant to its applications?

A: A particle size of 40-100 mesh ensures optimal flowability and uniform distribution in mixtures, making it highly suitable for tablet and capsule production in pharmaceuticals and for smooth incorporation into various food formulations.

Q: What are the key benefits of using this lactose powder in formulations?

A: Key benefits include high purity, excellent solubility in water, consistent particle size, and compliance with international quality grades. This makes it safe, effective, and reliable for use in sensitive applications like pharmaceuticals and specialized food products.
