Technical data
| Synonyms | D-Mannitol-Starch |
|---|---|
| Composition | Approximately D-Mannitol 80%-Dehydrated Extra White Maize Starch 20% |
| CAS number | D-Mannitol 69-65-8Maize Starch 9005-25-8 |
| Physical form or apperance | White powder |
| Application | PEARLITOL® ProTec co-processed mannitol-starch is designed for the direct compression of moisture sensitive ingredients such as probiotics and vitamins. PEARLITOL® ProTec provides protection from tableting process, including compression and improves stability due to low-water activity. PEARLITOL® ProTec may also be used in free-flowing powder formulations such as stick packs and sachets. |
