The Chemical Properties and Specifications of Lactose Monohydrate/Anhydrous Powder
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides an in-depth look at the chemical properties and specifications of Lactose Monohydrate/Anhydrous Powder, a fundamental ingredient in pharmaceutical and food manufacturing. Understanding these attributes is crucial for ensuring product quality, consistency, and compliance with regulatory standards such as those set by the BP, USP, and EP.
Lactose, chemically known as a disaccharide composed of galactose and glucose, exists in different forms. Lactose Monohydrate is the crystalline form that incorporates a molecule of water, while anhydrous lactose has minimal water content. These variations, along with different particle sizes (e.g., 60/80/100/200 mesh), dictate their suitability for specific applications. For instance, particular grades like Lactose Anhydrous 200 Mesh are engineered for optimal performance in tableting processes like direct compression.
Key specifications for pharmaceutical and food-grade lactose include limits on residue on ignition, heavy metals, and clarity and color of solution. Optical rotation, acidity/alkalinity, loss on drying, and water content are also meticulously controlled. These parameters, verified through rigorous testing, ensure the purity and safety of the Lactose Monohydrate/Anhydrous Powder. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. adheres to these strict testing protocols, offering products that meet or exceed industry benchmarks.
The microbial limits (TAMC, Molds and Yeasts, Escherichia coli) are also critical, particularly for food and pharmaceutical applications. Assurance of absence of contaminants is a hallmark of high-quality products. Manufacturers relying on consistent supply, such as those seeking China Factory Wholesale Bulk Lactose Food Grade, benefit from suppliers like NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. who prioritize these detailed specifications and provide thorough documentation.
The physical characteristics, such as particle size distribution, bulk density, and flowability, are equally important for processability. These properties are carefully managed during production to ensure that grades like Lactose Food Grade with Fast Shipment deliver predictable performance on manufacturing lines. By understanding and controlling these chemical and physical properties, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that its Lactose Monohydrate/Anhydrous Powder is a reliable and high-performing ingredient for all its clients. Choosing our 'High Quality Lactose Pharma Grade' means opting for a product backed by scientific rigor and a commitment to quality.
