Pregelatinized Starch is a modified starch produced by gelatinizing starch under heat and shear, then drying. It dissolves instantly in cold water to form clear viscous solutions without cooking. CAS No. varies by source (typically 9005-25-8 for generic), with no single molecular formula due to natural variability.
Dust explosion risk requires proper ventilation and grounding. Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent clumping or microbial growth. Not suitable for parenteral formulations due to particle size limitations.
