Prediction of tablet weight variability from bulk flow properties by sparse modeling
Die filling is a critical step in the pharmaceutical tableting process as it determines the uniformity in tablet weight, which affects the drug content uniformity and appearance of tablets. With the progress in powder flow characterization, a wide variety of bulk flow properties can be obtained, and…

Charge reduction assisted production of diminutive fluid bed granules for high drug load minitablets
Micronized drug powders are generally unsuitable as tableting feed to produce minitablets due to their cohesivity and poor flow. The silicification of fine paracetamol powder (PCMF) with an optimal concentration range of fumed silica (fSi) reduced the net negative charge of PCMF and improved powder…

An Enhanced Stacking Ensemble Method for Granule Moisture Prediction in Fluidized Bed Granulation
Moisture is a crucial quality property for granules in fluidized bed granulation (FBG) and accurate prediction of the granule moisture is significant for decision making. This study proposed a novel stacking ensemble method to predict the granule moisture based on granulation process parameters. The…

Comparative study on the real-time monitoring of a fluid bed drying process of extruded granules…
The process of fluidized bed drying of granules was comparatively evaluated by on-line real-time measurements of granule moisture content (MC) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and audible acoustic emission (AAE). The extruded granules were prepared by kneading a powder blend containing…

Taking Vitamin D Supplements to the Next Level with galenIQ™
Although previously seen as a “winter time” supplement when shorter days mean that exposure to natural sunlight is limited, vitamin D is rapidly becoming a year-round topic for many people as consumers are increasingly aware of its role in supporting the immune system. Able to activate the innate…
