title: Physicochemical and disintegrant properties of glutinous rice starch of Mizoram, India.
abstract: The objective of the current work is to characterize the physicochemical and disintegrant properties of a starch obtained from a novel glutinous rice variety from Mizoram, India. Different properties such as total starch, apparent amylose content, protein and moisture content, along with micromeritic properties were evaluated. Viscosity was determined by Brookfield viscometer, DSC and FTIR spectroscopic analyses were also performed. The disintegrant efficiency was evaluated after dicalcium phosphate tablets were prepared using the starch as binder-disintegrant at different concentrations. The total starch content was found to be 83.48% with 2.83% crude protein and 10.22% moisture content. The average particle size of the starch was also found to be 11.39μm. DSC and FTIR analysis shows the starch possesses typical characteristics of starches. Results from disintegration efficiency study also showed that the starch possesses significant disintegration property and the disintegration efficiency increases with increase in concentration of the starch.
