Pregelatinized Starch Market Trends Reshaping Industry Growth
Leading companies in the pregelatinized starch market are developing new products, such as partially pregelatinized starch, to gain a competitive advantage. Partial pregelatinization indicates that only a portion of the starch granules undergoes the pregelatinization process, leaving some granules in their original state. For instance, in October 2023, Roquette Frères, a France-based food company, introduced LYCATAB CT-LM, a partially pregelatinized starch engineered for versatility and moisture protection in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Exhibiting an extremely low water activity (Aw) of not more than 0.1 percent, LYCATAB CT-LM offers superior stability in solid oral preparations. This multifunctional excipient acts as a filler, binder, and disintegrant, making it suitable for various formulations, including dry granulation, hard capsule filling, and direct compression. With a loss on drying (LOD) not exceeding 7%, LYCATAB CT-LM supports innovation while safeguarding formulations from hydraulic degradation. Its integration into Roquette’s LYCATAB portfolio aims to enhance production efficiency and facilitate rapid disintegration for an optimal patient experience in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.
