A process for the manufacture of a corn starch granulate possessing resistance to enzymatic degradation upon oral administration, comprising the steps: a) granulating native corn starch by cautious mixing of a granulation fluid comprising a binder ethanol or water as a solvent, corn starch and a sweetener; b) subjecting the granulated material resulting from step a) to wet sieving; c) drying the granulate obtained in step b) at a temperature less than about 55° C. to avoid gelatinization of the corn starch; and d) sizing the dried granulate from step c) by dry sieving; and a corn starch granulate comprising primary corn starch granules as they appear in untreated native corn starch, said primary granules being agglomerated, without degradation thereof, into larger secondary granules to form a granulate using a binder selected from pre-gelatinized corn starch, gum arabicum, guar gum, potassium alginate, carageenan, methyl cellulose, and ethyl cellulose. |
