An alternative method of loss on drying determination in herbal medicinal products
Abstract
The article compares two methods of loss on drying determination in herbal medicinal products: drying using an infrared thermographic moisture analyzer and drying carried out in a drying cabinet. Data obtained with the moisture analyzer were shown to be sufficient for determination of loss on drying in herbal medicinal products of different morphological groups and were generally consistent with the data obtained by the traditional pharmacopoeial method - drying in a drying cabinet. The article demonstrates the feasibility of performing loss on drying test using an infrared thermographic moisture analyzer.
