To overcome the drawbacks of native starch viz. cooking step, high viscosity, poor flow, agglomeration etc; the modified range of starch products were introduced by Roquette. The range consists of pre-cooked starches, partially-cooked starches, partially hydrolyzed starches as well as compounded starches using special production processes. These modified starches brought in a lot of reliability, flexibility and advantages for wet granulation as well as direct compression tabletting.
