The binding properties of gum
obtained from Khaya senegalcnsis Juss.

comparison with gum acacia. The results
of the investigation, as estimated from the
granular characteristics oi lactose
granules prepared with the Khaya gum as
bindcr, show that the Khaya gum has a
good binding potential in tablet

A 3% w/w of Khaya gum exhibits
similar binding ability to 5% w/w acacia
