Maltodextrin is one of the most preferred carbohydrate by the food and pharmaceuticals industry. It has varied applications and is used for texturing, gelling, emulsifying and non-crystallization properties. It is used as excipient in pharmaceuticals and cosmetic applications.
Maltodextrin is a source of energy and is easily digestible as it is quickly absorbed in the small intestine. It is easily soluble which ensures lump-free end product. It also helps in hydration. Owing to these properties, maltodextrin is extensively used in making of nutritional drinks.
Maltodextrin has low reducing sugars present, and hence it produces very little Maillard reaction browning. Ice crystal formation is inhibited and it prevents grainy textures over time in frozen products. Its bland flavor makes it adaptable to most food processing requirements.
Maltodextrin has a calorific value of 4 cal/g. Due to this property it is highly used as fat substitute in diet products.
Maltodextrin has a neutral taste, natural mild sweetness and is available in powdered form.
As partially hydrolysed starch, maltodextrin has a Dextrose Equivalent (DE) of between 12 and 30. DE of starch is 0 and that of pure glucose is 100.

Derived from potato starch, Amylojel is an exceptional dissolution agent, ideal for tablets and capsules.
Categories: Food ,Pharmaceutical
Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG) is derived from potato. It is also known as Carboxymethyl Ether Sodium Salt. It is used as a pharmaceutical grade dissolution excipient for tablets and capsules. Sodium Starch Glycolate absorbs water rapidly, resulting in swelling which leads to rapid disintegration of tablets and granules. It is used as a disintegrant, a suspending agent and as a gelling agent.
Bluecraft Agro holds active DMF Type IV for SSG BP USP TYPE A.

Sorbitol is a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol. It has high stability, humectancy and plasticizing along with sweet taste. Sorbitol is one of the key ingredients for making various type of products. PROCESSING OF SORBITOL 70% (D-GLUCITOL) SOLUTION
Categories: Food ,Pharmaceutical
SORBITOL 70% (D-GLUCITOL) SOLUTION Sorbitol is a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol. It has high stability, humectancy and plasticizing along with sweet taste. Sorbitol is one of the key ingredients for making various type of products. Sorbitol besides being immune to bacteriological degradation, is also less vulnerable to mould growth than most other humectants plasticizing materials. Sorbitol is produced by hydrogenation of dextrose under pressure with reaction controls.

Bluecraft Agro Maize Starch IP/BP is available as per India, British and United States pharmacopoeia standards.
Starch is very useful in table production due to its inertness, cost effectiveness and utilization as fillers, binders, disintegrants and glidants. Its low particle size ensures a smooth tablet surface.
Categories: Pharmaceutical
Starch can be used in both granulation formulation techniques. In dry granulation techniques where active ingredient is hygroscopic and is difficult to dry after wet binding, maize starch has proved to be an efficient dry binder. Since starch is partial cold water soluble, starch functions exceptionally well in tablet manufactured by wet granulation applications and performs dual functions of both a disintegrant and a binder. In capsule filling processes, starch functions as an effective binder improving the uniformity of the capsule fill as well as forming a stable capsule plug.
