Objective of present study was to enhance patient compliance in pediatrics and geriatrics patients of Hypertension. To achieve this target, innovative orodispersible tablets of atenolol and atorvastatin was developed to produce instant action by rapidly disintegrating into oral cavity. Three different techniques like direct compression, effervescent and sublimation methods were used to prepare these tablets (Five batches of tablets by each method) by using two superdisintegrants like Sodium starch glycolate and pregelatinized starch alone and in combination. Pre-formulation studies including rheological analysis (Bulk density, tapped density, Angle of repose, Carr's compressibility index, Hausner's ratio), compatibility studies such as Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR) and Differential scanning colorimetry (DSC), Post-compression and stability studies were also performed. Finally, results were statistically evaluated by the applying one way ANOVA test and mean. It was concluded that the formulation F8 containing Sodium starch glycolate 2% and pregelatinized starch 6% found best regarding disintegration time, wetting volume, wetting time, release studies etc. The order in which drug release was quicker is Pregelatinized starch plus Sodium starch glycolate > Pregelatinized starch > Sodium starch glycolate (primojel). It was concluded that sublimation method was the best among three methods used for orodispersible tablets formulations.

In this study, octenyl succinic acid sodium starch (OSAS) decorated with chitosan (CS) of different molecular weights (50-150 kDa) and concentrations (10-30 mg/mL) was used to stabilize an emulsion coencapsulating with vitamin A (V) and vitamin D (V). The effect of CS decoration on the thermal and UV stability of the emulsion, as well as the underlying mechanism, was elucidated. The incorporation of CS increased the retention rates of V and V by 11.

This study investigates the effects of disintegrants sodium starch glycolate (SSG) and crospovidone (CP) on the printability, rheological properties, and disintegration time of agar and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based formulations designed for semi-solid extrusion. Printability was assessed by measuring the dimensional accuracy of manually extruded filaments. Rheological analysis was performed using oscillatory measurements.

Research Background: Porang ( Blume) contains a high amount of starch, glucomannan and Ca-oxalate. Soaking porang tuber in acid (citric acid) and salt (sodium chloride) solutions affects the Ca-oxalate content, functional, rheological and thermal properties of porang flour. The aim of this study is to thoroughly investigate the effect of soaking treatments in acid and salt solutions at different temperatures on the physicochemical, rheological and thermal properties, functional groups, molecular mass and morphology of porang flour.

Pomegranate peel polyphenols (PPP) are natural compounds known for their various biological activities; however, they are easily degraded by environmental conditions, leading to a reduction in their biological activity and health benefits. Therefore, improving the stability of PPP is a critical question that needs to be addressed. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of five common microcapsule wall materials-carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMCNa), sodium alginate (SA), gum Arabic (GA), beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD), and hydroxypropyl starch (HPS)-in encapsulating PPP to enhance its stability and antioxidant activity.
