1. CHARACTERISATION AND APPLICATION OF NATIVE AND CROSS-LINKED CASHEW (Anacardium occidentale L.) GUM IN TABLETTING
ABSTRACT
The exudate from cashew tree, referred to as cashew gum (CG) had been investigated for use as binder in conventional tablet formulations. In this study, cross-linked derivatives of the gum were synthesized and investigated for their physicochemical and physicotechnical properti...
2. DEVELOPMENT OF A FILLER-BINDER DISINTEGRANT FOR DIRECT COMPRESSION TABLETING BY CO-PROCESSING MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE AND CROSPOVIDONE
ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to improve the disintegration functionality of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as a direct compression excipient in tablet formulation by coprocessing MCCwith crospovidone (CPV), a superdisintegrant. Design of Experiment (DoE) approach was adopted to o...
