STARCH USP/NF, EP, JP
Native Starches Starch is one of the most reliable excipients produced from different sources such as maize (corn), wheat, potato and peas. All grades are GMO free and microbiologically compliant.
| Grade | Description
| Application
| | Maize Starch B | Conventional | Diluent for tablets and capsules, powder for sachets and a disintegrant Low water content grade is for moisture sensitive actives. | | Maize Starch Extra White | Super white | | Maize Starch 5% | Low water content | | Wheat Starch TB | Standard | | Potato Starch B | Standard |
Modified Starches
Pregelatinized Starch USP/NF, EP
To overcome the drawbacks of native starch viz. cooking step, high viscosity, poor flow, agglomeration etc, the modified range of maize (corn) starch products were introduced.
The Lycatab range consists of pre-cooked, partially-cooked and partially-hydrolyzed starches using special production processes. These products bring in a lot of reliability, flexibility and advantages for wet granulation as well as direct compression tabletting.
| Grade | Description
| Application
| | Lycatab PGS | Fully pregelatinized starch | Robust wet granulation binder. | | Lycatab C | Partially pregelatinized starch | Highly effective binder-disintegrant in direct compression and wet granulation, filler-disintegrant for hard gelatin capsules. Also used as a flow aid in powder blends. | | Lycatab DSH | Partially hydrolyzed, spray-dried starch | High wettability, low viscosity binder for wet granulation without impeding disintegration or dissolution. Ready-to-use, easily dispersible, quickly soluble with no maturation time. Also used as a diluent for direct compression of smooth tablets. |
