Omya Launching Excipients for Nutraceuticals at Food & Nutritional Ingredients 2022
At this year’s Food & Nutritional Ingredients 2022, Omya will launch Omyanutra 300 DC and 300 Flash for nutraceutical tablets. 300 DC is a directly compressible version of the company’s proprietary functionalised calcium carbonate excipient designed to enable tablet compactability and free-flowing granules.
300 Flash comes with what the company calls a superdisintegrant, making it suitable
for manufacturers of orally and fast-dissolving tablets. Both ingredients are free from nanoparticles and GMOs, and made of high-purity, natural mineral material. Due to the high number of active ingredients in the formulation, the production of nutraceutical tablets can be challenging.
As it often requires high compaction forces to bond all components together, these mineral excipients are aimed to help facilitate this process. With these products, manufacturers can create hard tablets at low compression forces, Omya claims. They reportedly allow for free-flowing, directly compressible granules and offer high compactability compared to benchmark excipients such as lactose and microcrystalline cellulose.
In addition, the minerals provide fast disintegration thanks to their particles’ porous structure, which also enables the safe carrying and release of active ingredients, the company says.
Omya’s mineral excipients Omyanutra 300 DC and Omyanutra 300 Flash are both multifunctional innovations that speed up new product developments. With Food & Nutritional Ingredients 2022 back as an inperson event, this is the perfect platform to present our new Omyanutra family.
