CD BioGlyco offers a comprehensive pregelatinized starch analysis service. This service includes various tests to assess the quality and characteristics of pregelatinized starch samples. Pregelatinized starch is a modified form of starch primarily utilized as a binder in tablet manufacturing to enhance tablet durability and integrity. It is derived from corn and undergoes partial hydrolysis and drying, resulting in improved flowability during tableting. Additionally, pregelatinized starch exhibits superior binding properties compared to regular starch. Apart from its role as a binder, pregelatinized starch also serves as a disintegrant in tablets. Upon ingestion, the starch granules swell in the stomach's fluid environment, exerting pressure that facilitates the tablet's disintegration, thereby aiding in drug dissolution and absorption. With our pregelatinized starch analysis service, clients can trust in the quality and integrity of their starch samples, enabling them to make informed decisions in their manufacturing processes or product development endeavors. Besides, clients also can find other Pharmaceutical Excipient Analysis Services on our website.
At CD BioGlyco, we provide a comprehensive analysis service for pregelatinized starch, focusing on identification, specific tests, and content assessment. Our rigorous and state-of-the-art analytical methods ensure the highest quality and reliability of results for our clients.
To accurately identify pregelatinized starch, we use advanced techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. FTIR delivers a molecular fingerprint by measuring infrared absorption spectra, identifying functional groups, and confirming the presence of pregelatinized starch. NMR, on the other hand, provides detailed molecular structure and composition data by analyzing the interactions of nuclear spins within a magnetic field, offering precise information about the starch's molecular characteristics.
Our specific tests encompass a range of analyses to evaluate the distinct properties of pregelatinized starch:
Content assessment involves quantifying the main components and any impurities in the pregelatinized starch.
With our robust Pharmaceutical and Biological Analysis Service, clients can discover the ideal service tailored to their research requirements.

Results: This paper focuses on the physicochemical properties of modified tapioca starch during spray drying. The results showed that the properties of modified tapioca starch such as crystallinity, thermal properties, swelling power and solubility changed during spray drying. By X-ray diffraction analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, it was found that the crystallinity of modified tapioca starch decreased and the thermal properties changed. Meanwhile, the swelling power and solubility of modified tapioca starch were determined by centrifugation, and the results showed that these properties also changed during spray drying. In addition, the pasting properties of modified tapioca starch were also studied by a fast viscosity analyzer. The effects of different factors on the properties of modified tapioca starch were derived by statistical analysis and regression analysis.
