Abstract
Tabletting compositions are formed by adding to a crystalline sugar such as dextrose, sucrose, and blends of dextrose and sucrose, a low D.E. starch hydrolysate having a descriptive ratio of less than about 2 and subsequently agglomerating the mixture. When this starch hydrolysate is added in amounts of about 1 to about 10% by weight of the sugar, the resulting agglomerated crystals exhibit reduced dusting and breakage characteristics, as well as the ability to be easily compressed into strong tablets using relatively low pressures.
