This experiment tested the influence of the lubricant magnesium stearate on the effectiveness of the drug acetaminophen in a mixture of glidants and excipients. There are many factors that can cause variation in the effectiveness of drugs in tablet form. Chief among them are the lubrication and glidant percentages, shear rate, tablet hardness and hydrophobicity. In order to allow the powder to ...

individual daily requirements recommend 25-35 g dietary fiber to maintain overall health and aid digestion. dietary fiber exists in fruits and vegetables, but can also be obtained by adding wheat bran to bread. wheat bran, however, contains high levels of phytic acid that is known to chelate iron, calcium, zinc, and magnesium and form complex phytic acid cations that reduce their bioavailabilit...

Hidenori Matsuo, MD, Hidaka Hospital, 886 Nakao machi, Takasaki, Gunma 370 (Japan) Dear Sir, It is understood that hypermagnesemia can occur in patients with chronic renal failure during the administration of magnesium even at a pharmacological dose. According to previous reports about hypermagnesemia, which the authors could refer to, the serum calcium level of those patients was decreased or ...

Nanocrystalline magnesium ferrite is synthesized by high-energy ball milling. The formation of nanocrystalline ferrite phase is observed after 3 h of milling and its content increases with milling time. The structural and microstructural evolution of the nanophase have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction and the Rietveld method. After 3 h of milling, ferrite phase (mixed spinel) nucleates ...

This study investigated the production and quality evaluation of selected spices [Ginger (Zingiber officinale), garlic (Allium sativum), turmeric (Curcuma longa) clove (Syzygium aromaticum)]. The were labeled GP (garlic powder), TP (turmeric CP (cloves powder) GPW (ginger powder). samples evaluated for phytochemicals, β-carotene minerals using standard procedures. phytochemicals ranged as follo...

According to USP 30-NF 25 [1], powder flow with repose angles between 25–30° powder flow is excellent, among 31–35° the flow is good and within 36–40° the flow is fair. For values higher than 41°, the powder has bad flow properties. The best angle of repose was shown by powder obtained from tests 4 and 6 (33 ± 2° and 33 ± 1° in Table S1), whose flow can be considered good. Moreover, the powders...
