NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to advancing pharmaceutical science by providing high-quality excipients. Corn starch, a natural polymer derived from maize, is a prime example of an excipient whose scientific properties make it indispensable in oral drug delivery systems.

The efficacy of corn starch as a diluent in tablet formulation is rooted in its physical characteristics. Its inherent bulk allows for the precise dosing of potent APIs, ensuring uniformity and preventing segregation during processing. This property is crucial for medications where the active ingredient might be present in milligram quantities, making corn starch as tablet diluent a fundamental requirement.

As a disintegrant, corn starch's mechanism involves absorbing water and rapidly swelling. This swelling creates internal pressure within the tablet matrix, leading to its rapid breakdown into smaller fragments. This process is vital for immediate-release formulations, as it increases the surface area available for drug dissolution, thereby enhancing bioavailability. The science behind corn starch as disintegrant relies on its polysaccharide structure and its ability to swell controllably.

In its role as a binder, particularly when prepared as a starch paste, corn starch facilitates particle adhesion through hydrogen bonding. This creates a stronger, more cohesive granulation mass that can be efficiently compressed into tablets. The binding action ensures that the tablets maintain their structural integrity during handling and transport, while still allowing for effective disintegration and dissolution. This makes it a highly sought-after binder in tablet formulations.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers pharmaceutical-grade corn starch that is processed to optimize these functionalities. Our understanding of the scientific principles governing these properties allows us to supply excipients that contribute significantly to the performance and stability of oral drug products. Whether you are formulating tablets, capsules, or granules, our medicinal corn starch applications are backed by robust scientific understanding.

The continuous research into modified starches and co-processed excipients further highlights the versatility and potential of corn starch in novel drug delivery systems. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. stays at the forefront of these advancements, ensuring our clients have access to the most effective excipient solutions.
