REPORT DESCRIPTION
A new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a comprehensive evaluation of the global Sodium Starch Glycolate Market . The study , titled “ Sodium Starch Glycolate Market - Global Industry Analysis , Size , Share , Growth , Trends and Forecast 2016 - 2024 ”, is available for sale on the firm ’ s website .
Sodium starch glycolate is the sodium salt of carboxymethyl ether . It is white to off-white , odorless , tasteless , and free-flowing powder . It is produced by cross-linking and carboxy methylation of potato starch . It can also be manufactured from other starch foods such as corn , wheat , and rice . Sodium starch glycolate is practically insoluble in water and insoluble in most organic solvents . It exists in the form of oval , rounded , irregularly shaped , or spherical granules . These granules exhibit considerable swelling upon contact with water . Based on the empirical formula and molecular weight , sodium starch glycolate can be classified into two types : type A and type B . Based on pH value , it is classified into three types that include type C . Type A and Type B are sodium salts of cross-linked , partly O-carboxymethylated potato starch .

On the other hand , type C is formed as sodium salt of partly O-carboxymethylated starch , cross-linked by physical dehydration . Type A , B , and C can be differentiated from each other by checking their pH , sodium , and sodium chloride content . Starch is carboxymethylated by reacting it with sodium choloroacetate in an alkaline , non-aqueous medium , usually denatured methanol or ethanol . This is then followed by neutralization of citric acid , acetic acid , and other acids .
Sodium starch glycolate is widely used in pharmaceuticals , as a disintegrant , in the formation of tablets and capsules . It absorbs water rapidly , which leads to fast disintegration of granules and tablets . Sodium starch glycolate dissolves better , which makes it easier for the body to absorb medication . It can also be used as gelling and suspending agent . The usage of sodium starch glycolate in the formation of tablets and capsules involves either wet granulation or direct compression . In higher concentration , it can be used as a dissolution acing agent . Sodium starch glycolate can be more effective when used as an intragranular or extragranular disintegrant or when equally divided between intragranular and extragranular locations . Sodium starch glycolate does not have any side-effect .
However , depending on the source , it can cause adverse effects on certain individuals . People with allergy to corn or with celiac disease may experience adverse effects . Tablets or capsules that are prepared using sodium starch glycolate have excellent storage properties , due to its physical properties such as stability and hygroscopic nature . In order to prevent caking , sodium starch glycolate should be kept in a well-closed container . This can protect it from changes in temperature and humidity . One of the key characteristics
