Business Opportunities for 2020? Production of Pregelatinized Starch.
Starches are typically derived from corn or potato. Starches are used in the pharmaceutical industry for a wide variety of reasons, such as an excipient, a tablet and capsule diluent, a tablet and capsule disintegrant, a glidant, or as binder. Disintegrants enable tablets and capsules to break down into smaller fragments (dissolve) so that the drug can be released for absorption. Starches also absorb water rapidly, allowing tablets to disintegrate appropriately.
Starches are also used in the food manufacturing industry for processing, and as food thickeners or stabilizers. There are many other diverse uses for starches in the manufacturing industry. Pregelatinized starch derives primarily from corn, has been cooked and then dried. Instant puddings, pie fillings, soup mixes, salad dressings, candy often contain pregelatinized starch

Pregelatinized starch, also called the pregelatinized starch, starch can be compared with ordinary pressure, good liquidity, so called compressible starch. It no longer contains amylose, amylopectin and all, can be fully dissolved in cold water, do not need to use the hot water in the granulation at starch, but also the loss of starch disintegrating ability.
Pregelatinized starch greatly endues the compressibility as well as improves the fluidity of the tablets. Pregelatinized starch is widely used in pharmaceutical because it is bland, order less and capable of digestion. Excellent flow properties and bulk density allow homogenous filling of capsules.

Advantages:
1) pharmaceutical grade pregelatinized starch is widely used as a binding and disintegrating agent for tablets, pills and granules, also used as filler for capsules.
2) Best as dry binder, increase tablet hardness, Decrease tablet friability.
3) Its self-lubricating property eliminates any negative effect on dissolution.
4) Superior flow properties ideal for direct compression tableting.
Market Outlook
The pregelatinized starch market is further segmented on the basis of source as corn, potato, and arrowroot and wheat flour. Corn starch is major source of pregelatinized starch used in food industry as a thickening agent or binder. Potato starch and wheat flour are used in instant soups and noodles as an ingredients for additional nutrition and thickening agent. Thus demand from base applications is expected to grow at significantly and global market for pregelatinized starch market is expected to grow.
Based on application, the food & beverages segment is expected to be the fastest-growing. This segment is rapidly growing, mainly due to the increasing demand for convenience food, in which Pregelatinized starch are considered as food additives. In food applications, the Pregelatinized starch are used for their functional applications, as fat replacers, texture improvers, nutritional products, high shear ability, and temperature stability. Food and beverage industry is expected to grow widely in the upcoming years and will drive the market for Pregelatinized starch as well.
Pregelatinized starch is used in cosmetic as an additive ingredient which is driving market demand for pregelatinized starch in global market. Pregelatinized starch is used in preparation of tablets as binding agent or tablet diluent makes it popular in pharmaceutical manufacturers in turn fueling growth of pregelatinized starch market. Easy availability of corn starch, wheat flour, potato starch is as raw material is reason for increased consumption and production of pregelatinized starch in consumers on daily basis.
