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. Key words: Compression properties Disintegration time Heckel plot...

The effects of PURE-DENT® and SPRESS® starch properties on their compression behavior was characterized using “SM2” approach (structural properties, macroscopic properties, and multivariate analysis). Moisture sorption rate constants, moisture content, amylose and amylopectin degradation enthalpy, percent crystallinity, amylose–amylopectin ratio, and cross-linking degree were used to profile starch structural properties.
