title: Xylan--a possible filler and disintegrant for tablets.
abstract: Xylan, a novel possible adjuvant for tablets was tested and compared with modified starch, Sta-Rx 1500, for weight variation, strength and disintegration of tablets. There was no remarkable difference in weight variation between the tablets of the corresponding compositions. The tablets containing xylan were stronger and disintegrated more rapidly than those containing modified starch.
