Mango peel pectin as a superdisintegrating agent

This study presents extraction and evaluation of mango peel pectin as superdisintegrant agent. Tablets of mango peel pectin had comparatively lesser release of drug as compared to sodium starch glycolate for a specific period of time. Therefore, mango peel pectin cannot be used as a promising superdisintegrant, but due to its good solubility in biological fluid and better swelling index, it can be used to prepare fast dispersible tablets.
