Abstract Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) HiCelTM is native from cellulose, which is manufactured from wood pulp. Microcrystalline cellulose is made by hydrolysis reaction at temperature and pressure in presence of catalyst, which acts as reaction process increment. It is neutralized after completion of hydrolysis and intended to be used as to make microcrystalline cellulose powder. HiCelTM MCC is white crystalline, free flowing powder and medium in particles size. MCC is free flowing with...

Abstract. The crystal structures of active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients should be strictly controlled because they influence pharmaceutical properties of products which cause the change in the quality or the bioavailability of the products. In this study, we investigated the effects of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) crystallinity on the hydrophilic properties of tablets and the hydrolysis of active pharmaceutical ingredient, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), inside tablets by using...

Barrier coatings are frequently employed on solid oral dosage forms under the assumption that they prevent moisture sorption into tablet cores thereby averting premature degradation of moisture-sensitive active ingredients. However, the efficacy of moisture barrier coatings remains unproven and they may actually accelerate degradation. This study aimed to investigate the barrier performance of four coating systems following application onto a low hygroscopic tablet formulation containing...
