Partially Pregeletanised Starch USP/NF, EP, JPE

PCS® is a natural excipient manufactured by thermal treatment of raw corn starch. It is inert, high in water-absorbing, and has pH-independent disintegrating properties. With a solubles content far lower than conventional pregelatinised starch, PCS particles swell in contact with water, rather than dissolve, to effect active-ingredient release. The swelling mechanism makes possible higher performance levels and new application parameters for solid dosage formulations.
