Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) pellets containing highly water soluble compound A was formulated with highest pellet usable yield of 86%, aspect sphericity that is (aspect ratio less than 1.1 and roundness greater than 0.85), minimum friability of 0.33% by extrusion and Spheronization technique. A Central Composite Design (CCD) was executed to estimate the effect of formulation and process variable namely water (21-41%), spheronization time (1-9 min) and Spheronization speed (200-800) to...
