Abstract:
The study was aimed extraction of mango powder from mango pulp; The presence of carbohydrate was confirmed by phytochemical analysis. The drugs and extract were found to be compatible as confirmed by IR spectral studies. The mango powder was evaluated for its micromeritic properties viz. bulk density, tap density, angle of repose, Hausners’s ratio, Carr’s index and the results indicated good flow properties. The formulations were prepared using mango pulp powder and other excipient. The prepared granules were free flowing and the compressed tablets showed good friability and hardness. The drug content of all the prepared formulations was ranging from 96.5- 100.0%. This study confirmed that the mango pulp can be used as an effective release retardant and can be successfully used in development commercial products.
