THE EFFECT OF SPHERONIZATION SPEED, DRYING TIME AND BINDER CONCENTRATION ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF HERBAL PELLETS MADE BY EXTRUSION SPHERONIZATION METHOD
Authors: Swami D* And More S

ABSTRACT
The aim of this present work is that the Influence of Spheronization Speed, drying time and binder concentration on The Properties of Herbal Pellets Produced by Extrusion Spheronization Technique. Pellets are aggregates of small, freely flowing, round or semi- spherical solid units made up of fine powders or granules of excipient and bulk pharmaceuticals. The different types of method are used in the formulation along with the technique, several techniques are available there out of which extrusion spheronization is one of them which form the small, free flowing pellets, The speed of the extrusion machine leads to formation of different types of pellets as the speed is less it will lead to formation of small pellets and as the speed increased the size of the pellets also get increased so, depending upon the size the availability of the pellets is depend. Drying time also affect the formation of the pellets depending upon the concentration of the solvent used in the formulation. So, the concentration of the binder also plays the major role in the physiological properties of the pellets. So, extrusion spheronization leads to formation of the proper pellets which passes through all the evaluation parameters. Keywords: Aggregates, Drying time, Extrusion, Granules, Herbal, Spheronization etc.
