This study aims to determine the optimum parameters for the invert sugar obtaining, using the acid hydrolysis at t oC. The inversion reaction has been applied to 3 samples of sugar solution of different concentration (P1: SU = 70%, P2: SU = 75%, P3: SU = 80%). For obtaining the invert sugar syrup, different inversion temperatures have been used (t1 = 80oC, t2 = 90oC, t3 = 100oC). The inversion ...

Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH), a histamine H1-receptor antagonist, is widely used as antiallergic, antiemetic and antitussive drug found in many pharmaceutical preparations. In this study, a new reconstitutable syrup formulation of DPH was prepared because it is more stable in solid form than that in liquid form.
