Lactose:Another major use of lactose is in the pharmaceutical industry. Lactose is added to pills as a filler because of its physical properties, i.e., compressibility, and low price.
Sorbitol:
Sorbitol is a sugar substitute.
Sorbitol can be used as a non-stimulant laxative via an oral suspension or enema. As with other sugar alcohols, gastrointestinal distress may result when food products that contain sorbitol are consumed. Sorbitol exerts its laxative effect by drawing water into the large intestine, thereby stimulating bowel movements.[7] Sorbitol has been determined safe for use by the elderly, although it is not recommended without consultation with a clinician.[8] Sorbitol is found in some dried fruits and may contribute to the laxative effects of prunes.[9] Sorbitol was discovered initially in the fresh juice of mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia) berries in 1872.[10] It is found in the fruits of apples, plums, pears, cherries, dates, peaches, and apricots.
Camauba Wax:
Carnauba wax can produce a glossy finish and as such is used in automobile waxes, shoe polishes, dental floss, food products such as sweets, instrument polishes, and floor and furniture waxes and polishes, especially when mixed with beeswax and with turpentine. Use for paper coatings is the most common application in the United States[citation needed]. It was commonly used in its purest form as a coating on speedboat hulls in the early 1960s to enhance speed and aid in handling in salt water environments. It is also the main ingredient in surfboard wax, combined with coconut oil.
Crospovidone:
Crospovidone is often combined with active ingredients in medications and dietary supplements to allow absorption of the active drug.
FD&C Blue#1 Al Lake:
it is a colorant for foods and other substances
FD&C Yellow #6 Al Lake:
Sunset Yellow FCF is banned or restricted as a food additive in Norway, Finland and Sweden.
Hypromellose:
In addition to its use in ophthalmic liquids, hypromellose has been used as an excipient in oral tablet and capsule formulations, where, depending on the grade, it functions as controlled release agent to delay the release of a medicinal compound into the digestive tract.[10] It is also used as a binder[11] and as a component of tablet coatings.[12][13]
Magnesium Stearatea:
It is used as a release agent and as a component or lubricant in the production of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.[1]
Polydextrose:
Polydextrose is a synthetic polymer of glucose.[1] It is a food ingredient classified as soluble fiber by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as Health Canada, as of April 2013. It is frequently used to increase the non-dietary fiber content of food, to replace sugar, and to reduce calories and fat content. It is a multi-purpose food ingredient synthesized from dextrose (glucose), plus about 10 percent sorbitol and 1 percent citric acid. Its E number is E1200. The FDA approved it in 1981.
Polyethylene glycol:
May treat: Constipation
titanium diosice:
The most important application areas are paints and varnishes as well as paper and plastics, which account for about 80% of the world's titanium dioxide consumption. Other pigment applications such as printing inks, fibers, rubber, cosmetic products and foodstuffs account for another 8%. The rest is used in other applications, for instance the production of technical pure titanium, glass and glass ceramics, electrical ceramics, catalysts, electric conductors and chemical intermediates.[29] It also is in most red-coloured candy.
triacetin:
It is an artificial chemical compound,[7] commonly used as a food additive, for instance as a solvent in flavourings, and for its humectant function, with E number E1518 and Australian approval code A1518. It is used as an excipient in pharmaceutical products, where it is used as a humectant, a plasticizer, and as a solvent.[8
