Product Description: Maltodextrin, dextrose equivalent 5.0-8.0 can be used as an excipient. Pharmaceutical excipients, or pharmaceutical auxiliaries, refer to other chemical substances used in the pharmaceutical process other than pharmaceutical ingredients. Pharmaceutical excipients generally refer to inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, which can improve the stability, solubility and processability of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical excipients also affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of co-administered drugs. Dextrose Equivalent (DE) expresses the number of reducing ends aldehyde groups relative to pure glucose at the same concentration, so that high DE indicates high hydrolytic conversion and lower average molecular mass[1][2].
Applications: Metabolism-sugar/lipid metabolism
Formula: (C6H10O5)n·xH2O
