Process for producing a pharmaceutical tablet using a homozygous white starch

摘要

The use of a starch obtained from a plant source that is homozygous in a white recessive gene, such as white common corn starch, has superior compression and ejection forces compared to commercial disintegrantants/binders. The starch derived from common corn containing the homozygous white recessive gene was also found to have comparable whiteness to commercial bleached corn starches used in tableting.
