ABSTRACT

To prepare a more comprehensive nutrition, more balanced proportion of natural nutritional supplement tablets with Moringa oleifera leaves and ginseng the two nutrients which have complementary natural food ingredients. Method: On the basis of research M. oleifera leaves with ginseng nutrient composition was determined on M. oleifera leaves and ginseng ratio of raw materials, and the choice of microcrystalline cellulose, sodium salt of caboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), magnesium stearate excipient, through single factor and orthogonal experiment, selecting the best formula tablets prepared by powder direct compression technology, for preparationof M. oleifera and ginseng tablets. Results: The best ratio of raw material for the M. oleifera leaves powder: ginseng powder was 7:3, the best raw materials for the tablet formulation was 88.5%, 8.0% microcrystalline cellulose, CMC 2.0%, stearin magnesium 1.5%, the optimum parameters for the raw material crushing 200–300 mesh particle size, moisture content of 7%, tableting pressure 40 kN. Conclusion: Through formulation and process optimization, we can prepare more comprehensive and balanced nutrition M. oleifera and ginseng tablets, its sheet-shaped appearance, piece weight variation, hardness, friability, disintegration and other indicators have reached the appropriate quality requirements.
