Research Summary
Sugar spheres, also known as sugar beads or sugar pellets, are small spherical particles made primarily from sucrose or other sugar-based ingredients. These spheres are commonly used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries as inert cores or carriers for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or other functional ingredients. Sugar spheres are typically produced through a process known as sugar sphere manufacturing, which involves layering liquid sugar around a central core and then drying and polishing the spheres to achieve uniform size and smooth surface texture. These sugar spheres serve several purposes in pharmaceutical formulations, including controlling drug release, masking the taste or odor of active ingredients, facilitating the handling and processing of powders, and improving the flow properties of granules during tableting or capsule filling processes. Additionally, sugar spheres are often used as fillers or bulking agents in dietary supplements and confectionery products.
