Tamarindus indica pectin blend film composition for coating tablets with enhanced adhesive force strength

- Investigating Tamarindus indica pectin-chitosan (CH-TP) blend as a superior coating material.
- CH-TP (60:40) film provides water resistant film texture.
- The adhesive force strength of CH-TP coated tablets was higher when compared with Eudragit.
- Negligible cohesive force strength of CH-TP coated tablets was evident.
- CH-TP admixture is an alternative to already used synthetic tablet coating materials.
