Diluents magnesium oxide

Patel et al. [40] found that moismre and the pH of the micro-environment influenced degradation the most. They identified the best diluent for tablet manufacture as being dibasic calcium phosphate, with a basic modifier (sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or magnesium oxide). The authors indicated that the degradation pathways observed were deiodination, deamination and decarboxylation. The data are shown in Table 2.4. 

Calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, kaolin, talc, magnesium carbonate, and zinc oxide are frequently used as nutrient supplements or food diluents. Calcium silicate and fumed silica are used as anticaking agents. They are added in concen-...
