ABSTRACT
Lyophilized powder (LP)
from Algerian arbutus wild berries (Arbutus unedo L.) was obtained. This present paper reports
about the dissolution (releasing) properties of LP-based
tablets, evaluated through the electric conductivity (EC) of distilled water
which is employed as surrounding medium, at three different temperatures (291,
298 and 309 K). In addition to this, secondary physicochemical characteristics
such as elementary analysis, color and compressibility were evaluated.
Regarding the modeling of ionic transfer, among the three tested models, namely
Peleg, Singh et al. and Singh and Kulshestha, the
latter seems to be the most appropriate (R2 =
0.99), particularly in the case of compacted tablets under 2000 Pa. The
temperature dependence of the dissolution process was also studied applying
Arrhenius equation (R2>0.8) which allowed to deduce the
activation energy, ranging from 18.7 to 21.4 kJ.mol-1 according
to the model and compression force employed.

Peleg, Singh et al. dan Singh dan
Kulshestha, dengan
yang terakhir paling sesuai (R2
= 0,99), terutamanya
dalam kes tablet yang dipadatkan di bawah 2000 Pa.
Pergantungan suhu dalam proses pembubaran juga dikaji menggunakan
persamaan Arrhenius (R2>

menyimpulkan tenaga pengaktifan, antara 18.7 hingga 21.4 kJ.mol-1 mengikut
model dan mampatan
