Abstract

The aim of this work was to examine the compaction characteristics of the powder from the seed coat of Tingui (Magonia Pubescens) comparing to the materials commonly used in pellet industries. The materials evaluated as comparison included Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), Silicified microcrystalline cellulose (SMCC), Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), Polyvinil pirrolidone (PVP) and lactose. The mechanical parameters observed were hardness, tensile strength and deformation. The results confirmed that the powder from the seed coat of Tingui were quietly close to lactose as a soft brittle material.
