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.
