Supplier Focus
Since the Valsartan crisis in 2018, attention has shifted to an impurity that had long remained under the radar: nitrosamines. These potent genotoxic impurities, classified as probable human carcinogens, are not the result of isolated external contamination but a byproduct of specific chemical conditions during the manufacturing process. Following global recall and media coverage, new … <a href="https://www.safic-alcan.com/en-fr/industry-articles/nitrosamines-pharmaceutical-excipients-risk-management/">Continued</a>

Lubricants are a non-negotiable part of tablet formulation. Its main role is ensuring clean compression by reducing friction between the tablet and the punch, enhance powder flowability and facilitating tablet ejection: a critical step that defines the entire batch viability. Magnesium stearate remains the most widely used lubricant in the industry. Well documented, reliable … <a href="https://www.safic-alcan.com/en-fr/industry-articles/nitrites-nitrosamines-pharmaceutical-excipients/">Continued</a>

Quick answer Plant-based drinks separate because they are thermodynamically unstable dispersions: fat droplets, protein particles, fibre and minerals of different densities are suspended in water, and left alone they always drift toward two separated layers. Separation is not one event but several distinct processes running at once, mainly gravitational separation (creaming and sedimentation), flocculation, coalescence … <a href="https://www.safic-alcan.com/en-fr/industry-articles/why-plant-based-drinks-separate/">Continued</a>
