Sucrose-Based Excipients for Pharmaceutical Products

Life science products serve a growing, but heterogeneous market which is driven by rising requirements for superior drug efficacy, technical performance, regulatory and safety compliance. This market requires high-quality sucrose-based excipients for applications like pharmaceutical drugs, non-prescription medications, food supplements, and wellness and beauty products.

Our various sucrose-based excipients work for many common delivery forms such as galenic liquids, compressed tablets, granules, powders, lozenges, coatings and even pharmaceutical chewing gums. They can fulfill various functions such as acting as a filler, as a binder, as coating material, as an anti-adherent (reducing stickiness) or also as one of the key functions of sucrose: taste – masking unpleasant flavors of active substances and making pharmaceutical products more palatable.

Product Overview

Sucrose-Based Excipients for Your Formulation

Our broad range of sucrose-based excipients feature excellent dissolving properties and are designed to offer you the ideal product for your high-performance formulations and applications.

In addition to our high-grade, calibrated, icing and liquid sugars, we offer you a specialized selection of excipients in our COMPRI® range, which we have developed for the strictest requirements of the pharma industry.

Overall, all our Südzucker sucrose-based excipients also maintain one key advantage that still makes sucrose the ingredient of choice in the food industry. Sucrose is added to make preparations more palatable, giving pleasant sweetness and for masking unpleasant flavors of active ingredients.

Sucrose is also naturally preferred as an excipient due to its outstanding technical features such as good processability, high solubility, good product stability, providing bulk and texture, preservation, i.e. extending use-by dates and good flowability characteristics.

The raw material is very finely ground sucrose (EU I quality), with or without binders and can be used with other ingredients such as flavourings or active ingredients, pressing agents, and dyes.
