Abstract

The goal of this study is to find an appropriate binder for a standard dose of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera leaves and package it into tablets. Aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera leaves were extracted and manufactured using a variety of binders, including Maize Starch, Gelatin, and Micro-crystalline Cellulose (MCC), to see which one produced the best tablets of aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera leaves. Physicochemical qualities (bulk density, tapped density, moisture content, Hausner's ratio, Carr's index, ash value), strength (friability and crushing strength), and release properties were used to describe the formulations (disintegration and dissolution times tests). In comparison to tablets produced with MCC or maize starch, those manufactured using Gelatin as a binder had the lowest friability and disintegration time. Except for maize starch, which had a greater crushing strength, all of the crushing strengths were within the permitted range (3–6 KgF). Moringa oleifera tablets were effectively created, and based on the results of the research, Gelatin is preferred for Moringa oleifera tablet formulation.
