Product type
Modified tapioca starch is a versatile excipient derived from tapioca, a starchy root vegetable. It is chemically altered to enhance its functional properties, making it more effective as a disintegrant in pharmaceutical formulations. This modification improves its solubility, swelling capacity, and flowability, which are essential for ensuring the efficient release of active ingredients in tablets and capsules.
| Appearance | White to off-white powder |
| Moisture content | Typically less than 14% |
| pH range | 4.5 to 7.0 |
| Viscosity | Varies based on modification, typically low to medium |
| Particle size | Typically 100 to 300 microns |
When selecting modified tapioca starch, consider the specific application and desired properties such as viscosity and disintegration time. It is important to specify the required moisture content, particle size, and any necessary certifications or regulatory compliance based on the intended use. Additionally, provide information on the quantity needed to ensure accurate pricing and availability.
