Pregelatinised Maize Starch

Whatsapp Order

Pregelatinised Maize Starch is a modified starch derived from maize that has been pre-cooked and then dried. This process disrupts the crystalline structure, allowing it to absorb water and swell without the need for heating. It acts as an excellent binder, thickener, and disintegrant in various formulations, offering improved solubility and rapid hydration. Pregelatinised maize starch is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and industrial applications due to its versatile functional properties.
