Many natural gums, like BPG, are favored in pharmaceutical suspensions due to their availability, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
The study evaluated BPG's physicochemical properties and its effectiveness as a suspending agent compared to SCMC and TG, focusing on characteristics like viscosity and solubility.
Results indicated that BPG has excellent flow properties, a notable swelling capacity, and a suspending capacity similar to SCMC, suggesting it as a strong alternative for pharmaceutical formulations.
