Okra Mucilage, Pharmaceutical excipients, Carr’s index, swelling index etc.
This study deals with extraction and characterization of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) mucilage as pharmaceutical excipients.Characterization of the extracted mucilage was done by various parameters such as micromeritic studies, flow behavior, organoleptic properties, ash value and swelling index, Carr’s index, Housner ratio. The result showed that extracted okra mucilage exhibited good flow properties (Angle of repose 32.25), the total ash was 0.56% w/w, Carr’s index was found to be 71.10% and Housner ratio was found to be 3.46. pH was found to be 6.9.Extracted mucilage was soluble in warm water while insoluble in organic solvents. This showed that this can be safely used in dosage form without causing any adverse effect.
