Maize Starch (IP/BP/USP) for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Maize Starch (IP/BP/USP) is specially manufactured for the pharmaceutical industry, where it serves multiple critical functions in drug formulation.
Key Applications in Pharmaceuticals
- Binder & Filler: Used in the production of tablets and capsules to improve structural integrity.
- Coating & Dusting Media: Essential for sugar coating, enteric coating, and other pharmaceutical coatings.
- Dry Granulation: Highly effective in formulations where active ingredients are hygroscopic and difficult to dry after wet binding.
- Efficient Dry Binder: Proven to enhance tablet binding in dry granulation techniques.
Bio-Load Control for Improved Shelf Life
Maize Starch (IP/BP/USP) undergoes special treatment to control bio-load, including:
- Total Viable Counts (TVC)
- Yeast & Mould
- Gram-negative bacteria
This bio-load control is particularly important for antibiotic and vitamin formulations, as microbial contamination can affect the shelf life and stability of the final product.
