Overview
Chemically, starch is a natural polysaccharide composed mainly of amylose and amylopectin, consisting of glucose units linked through α-(1→4) and α-(1→6) glycosidic bonds. The pregelatinization process modifies the physical structure of these polymer chains without altering the chemical composition, enhancing its functionality in pharmaceutical formulations. Pregelatinized Starch is widely used as a binder, diluent, disintegrant, and flow aid in oral solid dosage forms.
