Product Name: Pregelatinized Starch

Synonyms: Starch solution;Acid modified

Molecular Formula: (C6H10O5)n

CAS No.: 68412-29-3

EINECS: 232-679-6

Description

Pregelatinization gives native and stabilized starches the ability to form a cold water paste. They develop viscosity without the need for heat which means that the food manufacturer does not need to pre-cook the starch. Pregelatinized starches retain most of the functional properties and viscosity of the original base material.

Benefits

1.Starch and pregelatinized starch are used primarily as binders to improve tablet durability and integrity. Both are derived from corn.

2.Pregelatinized starch is partially hydrolyzed and dried to make it flow better during tableting. It also has superior binding characteristics.
