The proverbial “bitter pill” is a thing of the past – thanks to the innovative sweetener Sucralose that is now available from Merck. Sucralose is 600 times sweeter than normal sugar, tastes like sugar, safe for consumers, and exceptionally well suited for various pharmaceutical applications.
Therefore, Merck has signed a global agreement with manufacturer Tate & Lyle to supply Sucralose to pharmaceutical partners worldwide. Merck will also be responsible for instrumental analysis. Merck customers benefit not only from the extraordinary properties of Sucralose, but also from Merck’s proven technical expertise for formulation and its well-established sales network.
Sucralose - The perfect sweetener for pharmaceuticals
Sucralose has no calories, does not cause caries and dissolves easily. With its clean, pleasant and sugar-like taste, Sucralose is the perfect sweetener for pharmaceutical applications, offering various advantages over conventional sweeteners. It is able to mask with equal ease bitterness and medicinal off-notes, offers great shelf and process stability, and is synergistic with fructose and corn syrups. Due to its high-intensity sweetness and its extraordinary pH and heat stability Sucralose can be used in a wide variety of pharmaceutical formulations.
Merck Sucralose wide range of application
Sucralose is suited for all applications where the goal is to mask the bitter flavor of medicine as efficiently as possible, for example in syrups, lozenges or chewable tablets. Particularly important applications are orally disintegrating tablets (ODT products) where good taste is a key factor for market success. Sucralose is also suitable for children, pregnant women and persons with diabetes or glucose intolerance.
Sucralose conforms to international pharma standards and is widely used in pharmaceutical products. Merck Sucralose has been approved by the FDA, is part of the U.S. Pharmacopoeia, and has been used in products approved by the European Medicines Agency as well.
