ABSTRACT:
In India, Chhattisgarh is famous as Herbal state with its beautiful natural resources of forests and agricultural fields and value addition has been done so far in Chhattisgarh to maintain or improve the quality of the plants before the material reaches the industry. Presently, the herbal industry in Chhattisgarh is not very organized. The plant derived gums, mucilages from natural sources like carrageen an, thaumatin, lard, storax, agar, gum acacia, tragacanth and many more to name comply with many requirements of pharmaceutical excipients. These can be preferred for formulation development as being stable and involving less regulatory issues as compared to their synthetic counter parts. They can also be easily modified to meet the specific needs, thereby being a potent and economic vehicle for delivering active pharmaceutical ingredient in formulation. Thus our concerned and aims of the study is to throw light on the potential of natural excipients which can be proposed to be used as diluent, binder, disintegrant as well as lubricant in various types of formulations as they are biocompatible and capable of giving additional nutrition to the developed dosage form from indigeneous sources of Chhattisgarh state which could serve for cost effective and economical medicament and will enhance the value addition to the proposed herb and herbal species.
