BENEO-Palatinit’s excipient galenIQ (Isomalt Ph Eur, BP, USP-NF, approved also in Japan and China (Import Drug License)) is a range of multifunctional fillers and binders. galenIQ includes grades for powder blends and compression applications as well as special grades for processing technologies such as wet granulation, roller compaction and fluid bed agglomeration. Its broad range of different particle modifications and solubilities provides the best solution for various direct oral applications such as tablets, capsule and sachet fillings.
All grades exhibit the multifunctional characteristics such as excellent compactibility, flowability and very low hygroscopicity. galenIQ has a specific morphology that prevents segregation and thus ensures content uniformity, which makes it suitable for very high dose as well as low dose applications. Also, it is extremely stable physically and chemically. Derived from beet sugar, it has a sweet sugar-like taste. This sweet, well balanced taste is a decisive advantage for the formulation of direct oral applications, even in combination with active ingredients that have unpleasant taste profiles. galenIQ grades have excellent compactibility, making them suitable for tablets, showing a smooth surface that can easily be film- or pan-coated.
BENEO-Palatinit, part of the Südzucker Group, is a member of the International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC) and produces galenIQ under GMP conditions for pharmaceutical excipients.
