LYCATAB® C partially pregelatinized starch is used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications as a multifunctional for oral dosage forms.
Applications
- gelatin capsules as a filler
- direct compression applications as a filler/binder
- swallowable tablets and hard capsules as a filler/binder/disintegrant
Features
- Combines the disintegration power of starch granules with the high cohesion and good compressibility of pregelatinized starch
- Due to limited flow properties, often requires the use of additional excipients and production steps such as granulation or partial pregelatinization
