Improved tabletability after a polymorphic transition of delta-mannitol during twin screw granulation

In most formulations processed via continuous twin screw granulation microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and/or lactose are used as excipients, but mannitol is also a preferred excipient for wet granulation and tableting due to its non-hygroscopicity and inertness. Therefore, the aim of the current...

Mannitol is a frequently used diluent in the production of tablets due to its non-hygroscopic character and low drug interaction potential. Although the delta-polymorph of mannitol has superior tabletability in comparison to alpha- and beta-mannitol, the latter are most commonly used because...
