Description

Lycasin is a high-purity, multi-functional sugar alcohol syrup widely recognized for its excellent humectant and sweetening properties. This versatile ingredient is crucial for manufacturers seeking to improve product texture, shelf-life, and stability while managing sweetness profiles. It is extensively utilized across the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries. Our supply of Lycasin CAS NO 9053-46-7 is backed by stringent quality control to ensure consistent performance and reliability for your production needs.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as a bulk sweetener, humectant, and texturizer in sugar-free confectionery (chewing gum, hard candies), baked goods, and dairy products to prevent crystallization and retain moisture.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in chewable tablets and syrups, providing a pleasant sweetness and acting as a stabilizer and bulking agent.
• Oral Care: A key component in sugar-free chewing gum and toothpaste for its non-cariogenic (tooth-friendly) properties and ability to maintain product plasticity.
• Personal Care: Functions as an effective humectant in creams, lotions, and cosmetic formulations to hydrate the skin and improve product feel.
• Industrial Applications: Employed in chemical synthesis and as a processing aid in various industrial formulations.
