Formulation and Evaluation of Polyherbal Granules
Abstract
The current study’s objective was to create Polyherbal granules by combining liquorice, cinnamon, and shatavari leaf extracts. The dried leaf powder of the plant was used for extraction and was subjected to preliminary chemical tests. The formulation was examined for characteristics including angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, disintegration time, and stability investigations. Preliminary chemical analyses revealed that the extract contained proteins, glycosides, flavonoids, carbohydrates, and alkaloids. Excellent flow characteristics, including a good angle of repose, bulk density, and tapped density, were demonstrated by the Polyherbal granules. Granulation was a process used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce large granules, which ranged from 0.1 mm to 5.0 mm in size. These granules were formed by grouping particles and strengthening their connections using compression or binding agents. The mechanism of granulation involved four main types of bonding between particles: cohesion and adhesion, forces at the granule–mobile liquid film interface, solid bridge formation after solvent evaporation, and mechanical interlocking mechanisms. Herbal granules were used to treat various diseases, but their efficacy in treating these conditions was not well established.
