LIGAMED MF-2-V

Description

Ligamed MF-2-V Magnesium Stearate is a kosher and halal certified precipitated Magnesium Stearate (E470b), based on vegetable renewable raw materials. It is very popular in the food industry due to its fine particles (average particle size D50: 7–11 μm) and its high specific surface area of 6–12 m2/g. It is used, candies and dragees, and as a foaming agent or emulsifier in rusks and baking powder. Furthermore Ligamed MF-2-V improves the flowability and continuity with its anti-caking effect in certain hydrophobic powdered foods (e.g. spices and herbs) to extend the shelf life of these powders and mixtures. On top of that, it is used as a lubricant for tableting in the production of tablets and capsules. Its high specific surface area and fine particles offer a high releasing speed during tablet pressing and consistent physical performance of the tablets such as hardness and dissolution profiles. Typical quantity used during formulation is low: 0,2 % to 1 % by tablet weight.
