Pregelatinized Starch – High-quality multi-functional excipient from India

1. General Introduction to Pregelatinized Starch

Pregelatinized Starch is a modified starch (typically from corn, potato, or wheat) that has been mechanically and thermally processed to partially or completely rupture the starch granules. This process gives the material excellent swelling capacity in cold water, while significantly improving its flowability and compressibility. As a result, it has become a highly popular multi-functional excipient in the pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industries.

The raw material is manufactured by SA Pharmachem Pvt Ltd (India), a reputable pharmaceutical raw material manufacturer and supplier. With a strict quality control process, SA Pharmachem's Pregelatinized Starch ensures high purity, stable consistency between batches, and fully complies with the strict standards of international Pharmacopoeias.
