Gc. Onunkwo et Ok. Udeala, STUDIES ON RAUWOLFIA-VOMITORIA ROOT .3. FLOW PROPERTIES OF R-VOMITORIA GRANULATIONS, STP pharma sciences, 5(4), 1995, pp. 296-301
The flow properties of Rauwolfia vomitoria root granulations were stud
ied using named binders and lubricants. The properties of the granules
evaluated were : particle size distribution, flow rate, angle of repo
se and density. Wet granulation enhanced the flow properties of R. vom
itoria root powder. However, flow behaviour was found to be dependent
on the type and concentration of the binder or lubricant employed. The
granules had good flow properties.
