The Pharmaceutical Role of Starch: Sourcing from a Chinese Manufacturer
In the pharmaceutical industry, the selection of excipients is as critical as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) itself. Starch, identified by CAS 9005-25-8, is a widely utilized natural polysaccharide that serves numerous essential functions in drug formulations. Its inert nature, cost-effectiveness, and versatile properties—acting as a binder, disintegrant, filler, and diluent—make it a preferred choice for manufacturers worldwide. As a dedicated starch manufacturer and supplier based in China, we are committed to providing the pharmaceutical sector with high-purity starch that meets stringent quality standards, ensuring product efficacy and safety. Our mission is to be a reliable partner for pharmaceutical companies seeking a consistent and cost-effective supply chain.
One of starch's primary roles in pharmaceuticals is as a binder in tablet manufacturing. When mixed with APIs and other excipients, starch granules help to form cohesive masses that can be compressed into tablets. This binding action ensures the tablet maintains its integrity and shape during handling and packaging. Furthermore, starch's ability to absorb moisture and swell makes it an excellent disintegrant. When a tablet containing starch is ingested, the starch granules absorb water, causing them to expand and break apart the tablet, facilitating the rapid release of the API for absorption by the body.
As a filler or diluent, starch is used to increase the bulk of low-dose medications, making tablets easier to handle and administer. Its fine, granular texture ensures uniform distribution within the formulation. The quality and particle size of the starch are crucial for ensuring homogeneity and preventing segregation of ingredients during the manufacturing process. Our manufacturing processes are designed to yield starch with consistent particle size distribution, meeting the precise requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
