Assessment of Pregelatinized Sorghum and Maize Starches as Superior Multi-functional Excipients
Research exploring pharmaceutical applications of native sorghum and maize crops is needed to improve their economic competitiveness.
This work assesses the physicochemical and compressional attributes of pregelatinized sorghum and maize starches originating from Sudan and determines whether these attributes are superior than existing starches in pursuit of achieving quality attributes of pharmaceutical dosage formulations.
