Impact of degree of oxidation on the physicochemical properties of microcrystalline cellulose.
Abstract Microcrystalline cellulose, a major component of cell wall of plants, is one of the most abundant natural materials, but the poor solubility of cellulose limits its applications. Cellulose is a linear glucan with exclusive β 1→4 linkage. Oxidation carried out with TEMPO-NaBr-NaClO system can selectively oxidize the C6 of glucose residues in cellulose. This […]
Solubility of starch and microcrystalline cellulose in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ionic liquid and solution rheological properties.
Abstract This study compared the solubility of starch (G50) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in an ionic liquid (IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Emim][OAc]), at different temperatures. From SAXS and WAXS analysis, polysaccharides could be totally dissolved in [Emim][OAc]. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra showed a similar dissolution mechanism for starch and MCC, which was related to the formation of hydrogen […]
Crospovidone and Microcrystalline Cellulose: A Novel Description of Pharmaceutical Fillers in the Gastrointestinal Tract.
Abstract Crospovidone and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) are pharmaceutical fillers well known in the pulmonary pathology literature. Fillers are inactive substances incorporated into medications to facilitate drug delivery. By examining 545 consecutive gastrointestinal surgical specimens from 302 patients between September 11, 2015 and October 23, 2015, we identified the fillers in 29 specimens from 26 patients. The control […]
Synergistic effect of chloro and sulphonic acid groups on the hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose under benign conditions.
Abstract The hydrolysis of cellulose catalysed by ionic liquid (IL) immobilized on chloromethyl vinyl benzene (CMVB) with different IL/CMVB ratio was carried out in water as a solvent. The influence of process variables like IL/CMVB ratio in catalyst, temperature and time were investigated in a batch reactor. It was found that 40% IL/CMVB catalyst afforded […]
Effect of roll compaction on granule size distribution of microcrystalline cellulose-mannitol mixtures: computational intelligence modeling and parametric analysis.
Abstract Dry granulation using roll compaction is a typical unit operation for producing solid dosage forms in the pharmaceutical industry. Dry granulation is commonly used if the powder mixture is sensitive to heat and moisture and has poor flow properties. The output of roll compaction is compacted ribbons that exhibit different properties based on the […]
