Abstract
The search for a new excipient needs a lot of time and finance. The aim of the present investigation is to extract and characterization of Plantago ovata and proposing it as a pharmaceutical aid. The mucilage from P. ovata seeds was extracted with water and the mucilage was precipitated using Acetone (Approach-I) and 95% ethanol (Approach-II). The mucilage was characterized for physical, chemical, and micromeritic characterization. A FTIR spectra was also engendered for the mucilages and compared. The mucilages showed and possess all the official parameters required as a pharmaceutical excipient. Among the extractives, mucilage precipitated with acetone was partially better than ethanol precipitated one. The work summarizes that P. ovata mucilage can be used as a tablet binder and viscosity modulating agent in pharmaceutical preparations.
