Application

Starch derived from corn serves multiple purposes across various industries and applications. As a finely powdered, odorless, and tasteless substance, corn starch is utilized primarily for its functional properties, which stem from its structure as a polysaccharide comprising amylose and amylopectin. One of its key uses is in the pharmaceutical industry, where it acts as a binder, diluent, and disintegrant in oral solid-dosage formulations. In this capacity, corn starch facilitates the preparation of uniform triturates, aids in volume adjustment and powder flow in capsule filling, and enhances the compaction and tableting process. Beyond pharmaceuticals, corn starch is an essential thickening agent in food, benefiting various cooking and industrial processes due to its ability to swell upon heating and form a paste. Furthermore, the versatility of corn starch extends to novel drug delivery systems and its role in improving the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Corn starch is also valued for its application in topical preparations, serving as an absorbent in ointments and creams. Its diverse applications highlight its importance as a natural, multifaceted ingredient.
