Abstract:
|
Fonio starch was evaluated as a glidant in comparison with corn starch and talc in Folic acid tablet
formulation. The glidant property was analysed using the Flow rate, flow factor and angle of Repose of the
granules while the quality of the tablet was assessed by crushing strength, Friability, disintegration and
dissolution times of the tablet. The result of angle of repose, flow rate and flow factor indicated that Fonio
starch compares well with both corn starch and talc at concentration of 2%w/w and at that concentration the
tablet properties (crushing strength, friability, disintegration and dissolution times) were similar, it may
therefore serve as an alternative glidant for pharmaceutical granulations.
Key words: Angle of repose, flow factor, fonio starch, glidant, , ,
