Laboratory Manual Of Pharmaceutical Engineering

The subject Pharmaceutical Engineering is associated with basics of Pharmaceutical Technology and gives the principles which can be applied in manufacturing of pharmaceutical dosage forms.

This book mainly aim in guiding the undergraduate students and overcoming the obstacles faced by them in practical aspects of Pharmaceutical Engineering. The major objective of this practical book is to present the information in a lucid condensed manner to fulfill the requirements of undergraduate students. This practical book tries to cover the syllabus of Practical Pharmaceutical Engineering from most of the universities in India.
