Pore Structure Characteristics of 5-ASA Granules (20% Drug and 80% Eudragit® FS, 20–30 mesh) Prepared with Different Processes

Granules prepared by melt extrusion method Granules prepared by compression method
Medium pore diametera (pm) 0.0186 ± 0.0003 0.0420 ± 0.0004
Particle density (g/mL) 1.2762 ± 0.0325 1.0936 ± 0.02855
Porosity (%) 4.2975 ± 0.0621 5.4163 ± 0.0872

aMedium pore diameter was calculated based on pore volume. Three samples were tested for each type of granules
