Data on physical properties includes coverage of such properties as boiling point, bulk and tap density, compression characteristics, hygroscopicity, flowability, melting point, moisture content, moisture-absorption isotherms, particle size distribution, rheology, specific surface area, and solubility.
Lactitol's low hygroscopicity helps to increase shelf-life, especially in humid conditions, and this is well utilized in compressed tablets, making it an excellent pharmaceutical excipient.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Applications include the impact of hygroscopicity, water sorption kinetics and water induced morphology changes (eg amorphous content) in pharmaceutical powders, tablets, APIs and excipient materials.
