Abstract Carbohydrates, one of the most important compounds in living organisms, perform numerous roles, including those associated with the extracellular matrix, energy-related compounds, and information. Of these, polymeric carbohydrates are a class of substance with a long history in drug…

Targeted colonic drug delivery systems are needed for the treatment of endemic colorectal pathologies, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and colorectal cancer. These drug delivery vehicles are difficult to formulate, as they need to remain structurally intact whilst navigating a wide…

Fuji Chemical Industries specializes in producing porous spray-dried excipients for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets. They spray-dry their excipients to produce free-flowing granules and unique internal structures that enhance compressibility and functionality. These structures are ideal…

Internal lubrication can be associated with reduced tabletability. Deformation mechanism, lubricant type, lubricant blending time and paddle speed (PS) of the forced feeder are known to be influenceable factors. This study investigated the effect of lubricant blending time and PS of forced feeders…

Pharmaceutical tablets can be produced on different kinds of presses that may have very different compaction kinematics. Strain rate sensitivity (SRS) is thus an important property for the powders used to produce pharmaceutical tablets. Viscoelasticity is one of the aspects of the SRS and can be…

The physicochemical stability of enalapril maleate was investigated in the presence of fourteen different excipients divided into four different classes. The extent of a drug-excipient interaction was investigated by following the chemical stability using HPLC. It was found that there is a certain…

The effect of two screw configurations with varying stagger angle was evaluated on the liquid amount required to produce good quality granules for a highly (mannitol-based) and a poorly (DCP-based) soluble formulation containing different binders. It is generally known that the use of a higher…

The beneficial effects of olive oil consumption make it be one of the leading healthy edible oils worldwide. However, the water insolubility and oxidation of olive oil hinder its applications. In this study, food-grade oil-in-water olive oil Pickering emulsions (OOPEs) stabilized by hybrid…
