ABSTRACT

In the recent development in Pharmaceutical technology, the application of natural polymer increases the public interest and mostly patient compliance towards the natural occurring polymer that is used in the pharmaceutical formulation has become a subject of growing interest to discover, extraction / isolation and purity of such compound from the give an account of origin in pharma world. In this current review we have studied about mucilage (fenugreek seed mucilage) as a potent in used in pharmaceutical formulation. We also furthermore compiled the numerous sources that may lead the way to significant mucilage production and also procedure of extraction and its pharmaceutical application. The various properties of fenugreek seed mucilage have been give out in detail, that make a potent candidates to be used as pharmaceutical natural excipients / polymers in the Pharma world.

Keywords: Fenugreek seed mucilage, mucilage, natural polymer, pharmaceutical application.
