The granulation of binary mixtures

W O Opakunle, M S Spring

    The Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology
    |June 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study found that blending lactose and boric acid creates stronger granules with smaller pores compared to individual materials. Binder solution volume significantly impacts granule size and strength.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmaceutical Sciences
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Granulation is a key process in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
    • Understanding the impact of excipient blends on granule properties is crucial for formulation development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the physical properties of granules prepared from lactose and boric acid blends.
    • To compare these properties with granules made from individual components.

    Main Methods:

    • Granules were prepared using the massing and screening method.
    • Properties such as granule size, strength, and pore size were analyzed.
    • The effects of binder solution volume, massing time, and pre-mixing time were evaluated.

    Main Results:

    • Increasing binder solution volume enhanced granule strength and mean size for all blends.
    • Blended granules exhibited superior strength, larger size, and minimum pore size compared to individual materials.
    • Prolonged massing time could reduce mean granule size in some blends.

    Conclusions:

    • Blending lactose and boric acid offers advantages in producing robust granules with controlled porosity.
    • Binder solution volume is a critical parameter for optimizing granule characteristics in blended systems.
