This invention relates to a method of using compressible polysaccharides having a tap density of less than 0.4 g/ml as a filler/binder for tablets prepared by direct compression, excipient blends including said polysaccharides, a method of tableting an active ingredient therein from the excipient blends and the tablets produced therefrom. More particularly, this invention relates to the use of low-density starches as binders for tablets prepared by direct compression, excipient blends, and methods of tableting an active ingredient therein from such starches. Further, this invention describes a starch-based excipient composition having a tap density of less than 0.4 g/ml, which has excellent moisture resistance.

Polysaccharide material for direct compression

The present invention is directed to the use of a hydrocolloid composition, particularly a starch composition, which is useful as a viscosifier and/or a stabilizer in food products, particularly cultured dairy products, to products containing such hydrocolloid composition, and to the method of preparing such products. The present invention is also directed to the replacement of at least a portion of the gelatin, gum, and/or non-fat milk solids present in food products with such composition without losing the organoleptic and structural properties of the product.
