Dextrin can be utilized in both capsule filling and tablet formulations due to its versatility. Here’s how it functions in each application:
1. Dextrin in Capsule Filling:
- Filler/Diluent: Dextrin can be used as a filler or bulking agent in capsules. It helps ensure uniform filling, especially when the active ingredients are present in small quantities. It ensures that the capsule is filled to the desired volume.
- Flowability: Dextrin enhances the flowability of powders, which is important for the automated capsule filling process, helping ensure that the capsules are consistently filled without clogging the machinery.
- Stability: It provides good compatibility with various capsule materials (gelatin or HPMC) and ensures that the ingredients remain stable over time.
2. Dextrin in Tableting:
- Binder: Dextrin helps bind the ingredients of a tablet together during compression, improving the mechanical strength of the tablet.
- Disintegrant: It also serves as a disintegrant, helping the tablet break apart quickly in the digestive system for faster release of the active ingredients.
- Water Solubility: The solubility of dextrin assists in the disintegration and dissolution processes, which is essential for the bioavailability of the active compounds.
Advantages of Using Dextrin:
- Non-toxic and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS): It is widely considered safe for use in pharmaceutical formulations.
- Compatibility: Dextrin works well with a wide variety of APIs and excipients, making it a flexible option for both tablets and capsules.
