Solution Spotlight with Foster Innovation Twin-Screw Melt Granulation of Thermally Labile Drug: Effect of Processing Conditions
3/14/2018 11:55 - 12:30
- Processing temperature and reduction of GABA particle size during granulation are significant factors that can affect the chemical stability of GABA.
- Small particle size of HPC can cause higher degradation due to higher surface area in contact with GABA particles.
- Processing parameters (screw speed and feed rate) should be optimized to achieve the balance between improving compaction properties but still maintaining chemical stability of GABA.
