galenIQ™ (Isomalt) improves taste and mouthfeel in probiotic and pediatric medicine.
Improve the palatability of solid and liquid medicine with BENEO's galenIQ™ - the sweet filler-binder that helps the medicine to be swallowed more easily. galenIQ™ is the pharmaceutical grade of Isomalt and it is available in different grades, fitting a wide range of applications, from mini-tablets, lozenges, chewable tablets, sachets to effervescent and syrup.
galenIQ™ (Isomalt), water activity and probiotics stability
Water activity is one of the factors, which may affect the stability of probiotics. Isomalt (galenIQ™ 721), is non-hygroscopic and it does not release a significant water quantity through desorption. Therefore galenIQ™ is a suitable excipient in a well-designed carrier system for probiotic supplement formulations.
galenIQ in different product forms
The galenIQ™ range includes agglomerated grades 720 and 721, which are excellent filler-binders for direct compression and powder mixture applications/sachets. The 800 series is suitable for wet granulation. In addition, the 900 series is also highly suitable for capsule fillings, dry suspensions, sugar-free coatings and high-boiled lozenges.
galenIQ™ is manufactured under cGMP conditions according to IPEC-PQG requirements for pharmaceutical excipients and complies with the current Ph. Eur., BP, USP-NF and JP monographs for Isomalt.
