EFFECT OF GELATIN AS A BINDER ON TURMERIC EXTRACT TABLET FORMULATION

The main components for tablet formulations are the fillers, binders, crushers, thinners and lubricants. Among these components, binders play a key role on powder cohesion properties during formation of granules. In this study, turmeric extract tablets were formulated using 15 g extract, 35 aerosil, 12.8 lactose, 1% magnesium stearate, 200 ml aquadest gelatin as binder. To evaluate effect formulation, was then prepared in different formulation namely 0.1 (formulation A), 0.2 B) 0.5 C), respectivley. Based properties, with C met standard requirements friability less than 1%, hardness range 4 -8 kg disintegration time under minutes.
