  • Precompacted-starch binder-disintegrant-filler material for direct compression tablets and dry dosage capsules
    Patent number: 4072535
    Abstract: A free-flowing binder-disintegrant powder material consisting essentially of a precompacted-starch powder, especially adapted for use in direct compression tabletting machines to produce non-friable tablets having excellent disintegration properties. This precompacted-starch powder is also useful as a free-flowing filler for blending with dry powder ingredients in dry-dosage capsules. The precompacted-starch powder is obtained by subjecting an ungelatinized granular starch to physical compaction without supplementary thermal energy, but with sufficient mechanical energy input to obtain a precompacted-starch having birefringent granules and non-birefringent fragments of granules and some aggregates of granules and fragments, and then dried to a moisture content of 9-16% total weight basis. After precompacting, the starch is pulverized to form a free-flowing powder having a loose bulk density of 0.5 to about 0.7 grams per milliliter.
