| Abstract | Modified starches play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industries in controlling the drug release at a pre-determined rate. The effect of acetylation on the physicochemical and drug release characteristics of the starches from five different Indian L. siceraria cultivars was investigated. Starches isolated from the seeds of L. siceraria were subjected to varying degrees of acetylation. Using a range of characterization methods including amylose content, elemental analysis, light transmittance, swelling power, scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR and X-ray diffraction, the effect of acetylation was determined. The swelling power of starch acetates improved significantly (P < 0.05) with the increase in degree of substitution. The increase in swelling shows that acetylation improved the accessibility of an amorphous area to the water. The formation of V-type of complex crystalline structures confirmed the acetylation of L. siceraria starch. Modification in the crystalline structure of starch acetate retarded the drug release, which is controlled by water uptake. The starch acetates from all the cultivars showed better sustained release properties with the increase in degree of substitution. Drug release through the swellable matrix was found to be controlled by fickian diffusion from the gel layer as indicated by Korsmeyer-Peppas models (R(2)) 0.9885-0.9984. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
