Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Pregelatinized Maize Starch Pharmaceutical Excipient, a modified starch widely used in solid oral dosage formulations. Pregelatinized maize starch is produced by physical treatment of maize starch to modify its functional properties, improving its flow, binding, compressibility and water-handling characteristics.
As a multifunctional pharmaceutical excipient, Pregelatinized Maize Starch can be used as a binder, diluent, disintegrant and processing aid in tablet and capsule formulations. Its multifunctional nature makes it useful for formulation development and manufacturing processes where improved powder handling and tablet performance are required.
Pregelatinized Maize Starch is derived from maize (corn) starch and undergoes controlled physical modification to partially or completely gelatinize the starch structure.
Compared with native maize starch, pregelatinized starch generally offers improved functionality for pharmaceutical manufacturing, including better binding and improved processing characteristics.
It is generally supplied as a white to off-white powder and is suitable for pharmaceutical formulations according to the applicable grade specification.
Pregelatinized Maize Starch is used in:
As a pharmaceutical excipient, Pregelatinized Maize Starch can provide:
The performance of the material depends on the degree of pregelatinization, particle characteristics, moisture content and other grade-specific properties.
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Pregelatinized Maize Starch Pharmaceutical Excipient for pharmaceutical manufacturers, formulation developers and nutraceutical applications.
The material can be supplied according to the required pharmaceutical grade and customer specification, with applicable documentation such as CoA and SDS.
Pregelatinized Maize Starch should be stored in tightly closed packaging in a cool, dry and clean environment, protected from excessive moisture, heat and contamination.
