METHOD FOR GRANULATING CRUDE MEDICINES

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to easily and efficiently produce granules on an industrial scale by using liquid contg. crude medicine extract by having a stage for spraying and granulating the liquid contg. the crude medicine extract while stirring, rolling and fluidizing erythritol. SOLUTION: The process for producing the granules contg. the crude medicine extract has the stage for spraying and granulating the liquid contg. the crude medicine extract while stirring, rolling and fluidizing the erythritol. The erythritol is generally used as a drug production raw material and food additive and the erythritols of various standards are available as commercially marketed products. The erythritol used in this embodiment adequately has an average grain size of about 100 μm. The method for preparing the liquid contg. the crude medicine extract is not particularly restricted. While the liquid contg. the erythritol is not required to be a completely molten state, a dispersion medium is preferably previously dispersed therein to the extent not hindering the spraying stage when the liquid is used in the form of a suspension, etc.
