✓ Packaging Materials
• After the manufacturer of the drugs it is necessary that these should be stored properly. The stability of the drugs during their storage depends on many factors and proper packaging.

✓ Pharmaceutical Aids
• Organoleptic (Colouring, flavoring, and sweetening) age
✓ Unit Operations
• Definition, objectives/applications, principles, construction, and workings of:
✓ Size Reduction
• Size Reduction is the process of reducing drugs into smaller pieces, coarse particles, or fine powder. This process is also called comminution.
• There are several factors affecting the size reduction. These are hardness, toughness, stickiness, materials structure, etc.
✓ Size Separation
• The process of size reduction is followed by the size separation of the powdered materials.
• During the process of size reduction, uniform particle size is becoming impossible. So a special technique is used to separate particles of specified size which is known as the ‘process of size separation’.
✓ Mixing and Homogenisation
• Mixing and Homogenisation is the most widely used operation in which two or more two substances are homogeneously mixed.
• Perfect mixing is when each particle of one material lies as nearly adjacent as possible to a particle of the other material.
• The degree of mixing is not normally practicable. The desired degree of mixing depends on the purpose of the products and the objective of mixing.
✓ Filtration
• Filtration is the process where solid particles are separated from the liquid or gas by passing through a porous medium.
• When solids are present in a very small proportion that is not exceeding one percent the process of its separation from liquid is called clarification.
✓ Drying
• Drying means the final removal of liquids from the solid material with the help of heat.

✓ Novel Drug Delivery Systems
• Introduction, Classification with examples, advantages, and challenges.
