Pregelatinized starch is a physically modified starch that has been partially cooked and dried to provide both binding and disintegrating properties.
It is used as a multifunctional excipient in tablets and capsules, suitable for direct compression and wet granulation.
The material hydrates and swells quickly, promoting tablet disintegration, while its adhesive character enhances granule and tablet strength.
It is widely applied in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food supplements due to its safety, availability, and process robustness.
