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…

Starch is a readily available excipient which finds application in the pharmaceutical industry as binders, diluents and disintegrants. The use of starch is however limited by its poor flow characteristics. Co-processing exploits the…

Amphiphilic starches (sodium octenylsuccinate starches) are a well‐known emulsifier for various food and pharma applications. Typical applications are the encapsulation of lipophilic compounds such as vitamins and other micronutrients or…

Modified starches are widely employed excipients in tablets compression. The ability of materials to deform under pressure (compressibility) and create strong compacts (compactability) is then important for tablet manufacture. This study…

Existing oral or injectable antipsychotic drug delivery strategies typically demonstrate low bioavailability to targeted brain regions, incentivizing the development of alternative delivery strategies. Delivery via the nasal cavity…

Direct compression (DC) remains the most preferred technique to produce tablets, and its effectiveness is directly influenced by raw material attributes. Therefore, the selection of specific grades of excipients to achieve desirable powder…

Pharmatrans Sanaq now offers SANAQ® SL 004 as a co-processed excipient based on mix 15/85 of maize starch and lactose monohydrate. SL 004 forms an ultra-uniform and highly compressible lactose excipient for tablet fillings that supports…

The encapsulation of nanoparticles within microparticles designed for specific delivery to the colon is a relevant strategy to avoid premature degradation or release of nanoparticles during their passage through the stomach and upper…

Modified starches are widely employed excipients in tablets compression. The ability of materials to deform under pressure (compressibility) and create strong compacts (compactability) is then important for tablet manufacture. This study…

Starch is a commonly used excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. However, information on the effect of the moisture scavenging properties of starch to protect moisture-sensitive drugs is limited. The interaction between starch and…
