Dark-Green Vegetable Powder Tablet Disintegration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Tablets containing proteoglycan-containing cartilage extracts often have poor disintegrability, which hinders active ingredient absorption, and existing disintegrating agents are not commonly used in health foods due to consumer preferences and regulatory limitations.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a dark-green vegetable as a disintegrating agent in tablets, specifically using dry powders from plants like oats, kale, and young barley grass, to enhance disintegrability while maintaining nutritional content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a proteoglycan-containing cartilage extract is blended in tablets, then the nutritional value and health benefits are improved, but the disintegrability of the tablets deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A dark-green vegetable powder is introduced as an intermediary substance that mediates between the cartilage extract and the tablet matrix. This intermediary component facilitates disintegration without compromising the nutritional value of the cartilage extract, solving the contradiction between maintaining active ingredients and achieving proper disintegration.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the physical and chemical parameters of the tablet formulation by incorporating dark-green vegetable powder with specific compositional characteristics (high water content, specific fiber content, natural polysaccharides). This parameter change enables the tablet to achieve both nutritional integrity and disintegrability.
2Reliability
If synthetic disintegrating agents are used to improve disintegrability, then the disintegration performance is improved, but consumer acceptance and safety deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses natural, biodegradable dark-green vegetable powder instead of synthetic disintegrating agents. This natural component serves as a safe, consumable alternative that fulfills the disintegration function without the safety concerns associated with synthetic chemicals, making it suitable for health food applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes from synthetic chemical disintegrating agents to natural vegetable-based components, altering the chemical composition parameters while maintaining the functional disintegration performance. This parameter change ensures both efficacy and consumer safety.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The use of dark-green vegetables improves tablet disintegrability, allowing for faster absorption of active ingredients and addressing consumer concerns about synthetic agents, while providing a natural, nutrient-rich option.
Implementation Method 1
a tablet having excellent disintegrability can be obtained by blending a dark-green vegetable
Data Source
AI summary
A tablet includes a dark-green vegetable. The dark-green vegetable may serve as the disintegrating agent to provide a tablet with excellent disintegrability. Even if the tablet includes a substance that increases disintegration time, the dark-green vegetable may result in a lower disintegration time. A method for producing a tablet includes tableting a mixture containing a dark-green vegetable.
