Applications Powdered sucrose is used in formulations for flavoring or sweetening when sugar is required to dissolve rapidly. It can be used as a diluent in the prescription of solid preparations when it is necessary to mix tiny active ingredients with small sucrose particles to achieve content uniformity. In solution, a high concentration of powdered sugar (70% w/v) increases viscosity and has some anti-corrosion properties. Can be used as sugar coating solution, wet granular binder/thinner.
