At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we believe that a deep understanding of the scientific properties of our pharmaceutical ingredients is key to their successful application. Corn starch, a complex carbohydrate derived from corn kernels, possesses a unique set of physical and chemical characteristics that make it an exceptional excipient in the pharmaceutical industry.

The primary components of corn starch are amylose and amylopectin, which form granules. These granules give corn starch its powdery appearance and its functional properties. As a diluent disintegrant binder starch, its ability to absorb moisture and swell is crucial for its disintegrant action. When a tablet containing corn starch is exposed to moisture, the starch granules swell, leading to the breakdown of the tablet matrix and the release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. This swelling capacity is a fundamental aspect of its efficacy in many corn starch for oral preparations.

Furthermore, the inert chemical nature of corn starch ensures minimal interaction with most APIs, a critical factor for maintaining drug stability and efficacy. This chemical inertness, combined with its cohesive properties, allows it to function effectively as a tablet binder. The binding action is primarily physical, arising from the formation of hydrogen bonds between starch molecules and other excipients during compression. Our commitment to providing pharmaceutical grade corn starch means we ensure consistent particle size distribution and moisture content, factors that directly influence its binding and diluent capabilities.
