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.
Avobenzone
Avobenzone (chemical name: Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) is an oil-soluble organic compound widely used as a UVA filter in sunscreen formulations. It is valued for its ability to absorb a broad spectrum of ultraviolet A (UVA) rays (320–400 nm), protecting the skin from premature aging and damage caused by sun exposure. Avobenzone is often combined with other UV filters to provide broad-spectrum sun protection. It is a pale yellow liquid or crystalline powder, soluble in oils and alcohols but unstable in sunlight unless stabilized with other agents.
Bitter Masking Pharmaceutical Liquid flavors
Bitter Masking Pharmaceutical Liquid Flavors are specially formulated liquid flavors designed to mask the bitter taste of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). These flavors improve the palatability of oral syrups, suspensions, and liquid medications, enhancing patient compliance. Compatible with various pharmaceutical formulations, they exhibit excellent solubility and stability in aqueous systems and provide a pleasant taste profile without affecting the efficacy of the medication.
Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate
Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate, commonly known as gypsum, is a naturally occurring mineral widely used in agriculture, construction, and various industrial processes. It appears as a white or slightly translucent crystalline powder with moderate solubility in water. The compound is primarily used as a soil conditioner to improve soil structure and supply calcium and sulfur nutrients essential for plant growth. It also finds applications in the manufacture of plaster, cement, and as a filler in various products.
Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate
Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate (DCP Dihydrate) is an odorless, white crystalline powder or granule composed of calcium and phosphate in a hydrated form. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, animal feed, and industrial sectors. It serves as a calcium and phosphorus supplement, excipient, and abrasive agent, valued for its stability, bioavailability, and neutral taste. DCP Dihydrate complies with various pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP, BP, FCC) depending on the grade.
Potassium Metabisulphite Food Grade
Potassium Metabisulphite Food Grade is a white crystalline powder with strong antioxidant and preservative properties. It is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a disinfectant, antioxidant, and preservative to prevent spoilage and microbial growth. It also acts as a bleaching agent and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) source. This compound is critical in winemaking, brewing, and food processing to maintain product quality and extend shelf life.
PVP K 30 USP
PVP K 30 USP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30) is a water-soluble polymer widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It serves as a binder, stabilizer, and film-forming agent, known for its excellent adhesive properties and compatibility with a wide range of ingredients. PVP K 30 USP is characterized by its medium molecular weight, making it ideal for tablet binding, enhancing solubility of poorly soluble drugs, and providing viscosity control in liquid formulations. This grade complies with USP standards ensuring suitability for pharmaceutical use.
Sodium Chloride (Industrial Salt)
Sodium Chloride (Industrial Salt) is a highly purified, sterile, and non-pyrogenic salt intended for intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous administration. It is commonly used in medical and pharmaceutical settings as a key component of intravenous fluids, for rehydration therapy, electrolyte replenishment, and as a diluent for injectable drugs. This grade meets stringent pharmacopoeial standards (British Pharmacopoeia) ensuring safety and compatibility with parenteral use.
