Cross Carmellose Sodium BP
Whatsapp Order
Cross Carmellose Sodium BP (also known as Croscarmellose Sodium or CCS) is a cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose polymer. It is a highly efficient, super-disintegrant commonly used in pharmaceutical tablet and capsule formulations. This white to off-white, odorless, and tasteless powder exhibits excellent swelling properties and rapid water uptake, which facilitates fast tablet disintegration and improves drug bioavailability. It is chemically stable, non-toxic, and compatible with a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Almond Bitter Oil
Almond Bitter Oil, derived from the kernels of bitter almonds (Prunus amygdalus var. amara), is an essential oil known for its sharp, nutty, and marzipan-like aroma. This oil is produced through steam distillation of crushed bitter almond kernels and contains a naturally occurring compound called benzaldehyde, which gives it its characteristic scent. In purified form (free of hydrogen cyanide), bitter almond oil is used in fragrance, flavoring, and pharmaceutical applications.
Due to its potent aroma and biochemical properties, it is widely used in perfumery, baked goods flavoring (in controlled quantities), aromatherapy, and traditional topical remedies. It is important to distinguish between natural bitter almond oil, which must be detoxified, and synthetic benzaldehyde, which is commonly used as a substitute in commercial formulations.
