Pregelatinized starch is a chemically modified carbohydrate produced by gelatinizing starch followed by drying, eliminating the need for heat during use. CAS No. varies by supplier; generic formula approximates (C6H10O5)n. This process enhances water solubility and cold-water swelling.
Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent microbial growth. Avoid inhalation of dust; wear respiratory protection during handling. Not suitable for patients with severe starch intolerance.
