Sodium carboxymethyl starch can be used in a wide range of applications, and the pharmaceutical industry is an important downstream

Sodium carboxymethyl starch (CMS), also known as sodium carboxymethyl starch, is a type of ether modified starch. It appears as white or yellow powder, has no special odor and is non-toxic. Sodium carboxymethyl starch has good stability. It is soluble in water at room temperature and can be dispersed in water to form a viscous colloidal solution. It is hygroscopic when exposed to the air. It is insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether and has relatively good stability in acidic environments. Difference.

According to the “China Sodium Carboxymethyl Starch Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2021-2026” released by the Industrial Research Center , Sodium carboxymethyl starch can be used as a suspending agent, dispersant, thickener, emulsifier, water-retaining agent, film-forming agent, binder, stabilizer, etc., and can be widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, papermaking, textile, printing and dyeing, In ceramics, building materials, medicine, food and other industries. For example, in the food industry, sodium carboxymethyl starch can be used as an additive in dairy products, beverages, ice cream, baked goods and other processing fields. Sodium carboxymethyl starch has similar functions to carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and can be used instead of it in many fields.

In the field of medicine, sodium starch glycolate can be used as a pharmaceutical excipient or made into medicines. As a pharmaceutical excipient, sodium carboxymethyl starch is mainly used as a disintegrant and molding agent for tablets, pills, and granules. It can also be used to make capsules, sugar coatings, etc. When sodium carboxymethyl starch is used directly as a medicine, its product is mainly sodium carboxymethyl starch solution, which has the function of promoting the maturation and differentiation of T cells and improving the body’s resistance. It can be used in the field of treatment of recurrent digestive tract infectious diseases. Children under 14 years old Can be taken by children.

Our country has a large population base, a large number of teenagers and children, the aging process is accelerating, and the national health awareness is improving. These factors have promoted the continuous and rapid growth of my country’s pharmaceutical market demand. Pharmaceutical excipients are the basic materials of drugs, and their demand has also continued to rise.
