INTRODUCTION

Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG) is a very fine free flowing powder that is white or off white in color and has almost no odor. Its property of insolubility is remarkable, with complete insolubility in most organic solvents, and even in water. It is a sodium salt of carboxyl ether of starch and is appreciated for its stability and binding properties.

MANUFACTURE

It is manufactured by chemical modification of starch, i.e., carboxymethylation to enhance hydrophilicity and cross-linking to reduce solubility.

SynonymSodium carboxymethyl starch
Starch carboxymethyl ether sodium salt
CAS no.9063-38-1
EINECS No618-597-7
Molecular formula(C2H4O3)x·(Na)x

Structure
APPLICATIONS
Sodium Starch Glycolate is used as rapid disintegrant that releases the medicine immediately when in contact with water.
It can be used in a direct-compression as well as wet-granulation process.
SSG can also be used as a suspending vehicle.
It acts as a dissolution enhancing agent.
SSG is used as a food stabilizer and as an anti-ageing agent for bread and in manufacturing of ice-creams.
This is used as a component for manufacturing processes in pharmaceuticals, food, textiles, paper and adhesives.
