摘要: Abstract Direct compaction is a complex process that results in density distribution inside the tablets which often heterogeneous. Therefore, variations may affect compact properties. A quantitative analysis of this phenomenon still lacking. Recently, X-ray microtomography has been successfully used pharmaceutical development to study qualitatively impact tablet shape and break-line tablets. In study, we evaluate profile microcrystalline cellulose (Vivapur 12®) compacts obtained at different mean porosity (ranging from 7.7% 33.5%) using tomography technique. First, validity Beer–Lambert law studied. Then, calibration performed maps cylindrical are visualized with colour-scale plot explained. As expected, important heterogeneity observed quantified. The higher densities peripheral region were particularly investigated appraised regard lower middle tablet. also underlined case tablets, it differentiate mechanical properties representative total volume only characterize surface like Brinell hardness measurements.
