Study on the Physical Properties and Application of a Novel Pharmaceutical Excipient Made from Starch and Cellulose Co-Processing.

ABSTRACT: Objective: This article investigated the structural characteristics, powder properties, and performance variations of co-processed pregelatinized starch (PS) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) at varying ratios. Methods: Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed the embedding of MCC within the PS matrix. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated no chemical interaction between the starch and MCC during processing. The physical properties of the co-processed materials were evaluated using multiple indicators, such as the Carr index, and their properties in pharmaceutical applications were evaluated using multiple indicators, such as tensile strength and dilution capacity. Results:The absence of new chemical substan
