 AMBICEL PH FOR DIRECT COMPRESSION TABLETING.

AMBICEL MCC' S  Unique  morphology renders tablets strength; low lubricant  sensitivity and fast disintegration power..

AMBICEL MCC makes tables strong by virtue of large number of binding sites  and very high surface area. .

AMBICEL MCC  makes tablets less sensitive to lubricants due to its crystalline  structure. .

AMBICEL MCC  makes  tablets porous  and  water permeates deep into tablet  matrix quickly and  fast disintegration of tablet is achieved 

AMBICEL PH FOR WET GRANULATION

AMBICEL MCC  due  to  its  wicking  action thoroughly distributes granulating  fluid throughout the powder and rapid and uniform wetting is achieved.

AMBICEL MCC  due  to  its  very high surface  area insures rapid and uniform  drying of wet  granulation. .

AMBICEL MCC  prevents  over  wetting  and  maintains wet mass consistency  due to its large surface area and absorptive capacity. .

AMBICEL MCC helps trouble free screening due to uniform wetting of powder. .

AMBICEL MCC distributes drug evenly throughout the particles of granulation  and prevents drug  or dye migration during drying. .

AMBICEL MCC  possesses wet binding power and reduces the requirement of   traditional wet binders.

RECOMMENDATION OF AMBICEL IN WET MIX

TYPICAL WET BASE

A mixture of 70% lactose with 30%   AMBICEL is recommended in wet mix in order to get harder granules and fewer fines.

ADDING OF AMBICEL

Usually one-half  of  AMBICEL  is  added  to  wet mass and one-half as a post granulation addition where it provides the typical direct compression benefits.

OTHER APPLICATIONS OF AMBICEL

 Low calorie food like cookies; makroni and spaghetti

 Butter,Cheese,Margarine,Free flowing granular powders of Syrups, Honey,     Molasses.

 Salad dressing and chocolate drinks.

 Thin layer Chromatography

AMBICEL  M C C  products  are  generally  recognised  as  safe  ( GRAS )  by qualified experts and are in accordance with food and drug regulations.
