Power consumption during oscillatory mixing of pharmaceutical powders
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Hilden, J, Sullivan, MPolizzi, M, Wade, J, Greer, J, Keeney, M
The blending of powders is a critical step in pharmaceutical drug product manufacturing as it ensures that each dosage unit will contain the same intended fraction of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Under-blending thus poses a significant risk to patients where overdose or underdose can...

Direct compaction: An update of materials, trouble-shooting, and application
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Li, Z, Zhao, LJLin, X, Shen, L, Feng, Y
Direct compaction (DC) is the preferred choice for tablet manufacturing; however, only less than 20% of active pharmaceutical ingredients could be compacted via DC as its high requirement for functional properties of materials. Materials with improper functionalities could lead to serious...

A review on the taste masking of bitter APIs: hot-melt extrusion (HME) evaluation
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Maniruzzaman, M, Boateng, JSChowdhry, BZ, Snowden, MJ, Douroumis, D
The majority of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) found in oral dosage forms have a bitter taste. Masking the unpleasant taste of bitter, APIs is a major challenge in the development of such oral dosage forms. Taste assessment is an important quality-control parameter for evaluating...
