Product Manufacturing Process
Based on the pregelatinization process as described in authoritative papers, our factory employs a heat and moisture treatment technique that modifies the starch granules, optimizing their solubility and compressibility for pharmaceutical applications. This involves heating the starch in the presence of moisture, causing the granules to swell and disrupt their crystalline structure. After swelling, the granules are dried, resulting in a partially soluble and multifunctional excipient. The manufacturing process ensures the starch aligns with regulatory standards, maintaining consistency and reliability. The resulting pregelatinized starch is a versatile product used widely in the production of tablets and capsules, enhancing the disintegration and binding properties of various pharmaceutical formulations.
Product Application Scenarios
Pregelatinized starch is broadly applied in the pharmaceutical industry as a binder, disintegrant, and filler in solid dosage forms. According to authoritative research, its enhanced solubility and compressibility make it suitable for direct compression in tablet manufacturing, improving efficiency and reducing costs. It also plays a crucial role in capsule filling, ensuring dose uniformity and content uniformity. Furthermore, by controlling the degree of pregelatinization, formulators can achieve desired release profiles, including controlled-release formulations. The starch's biocompatibility and safety profile ensure it meets the necessary criteria for medical applications, extending its use to various formulations that require immediate or sustained release properties.
