ABSTRACT
Objective: Medicinal properties of leaves of Raphanus sativus have been neglected from years,
recent research has proven the anti-inflammatory activity of leaf extract, the current study aims
in formulating and evaluating Raphanus sativus leaf extract into hard candy and soft jelly
lozenges.
Methods: The hard candy lozenges are prepared in sucrose base using heat and congealing
method. Soft jelly lozenges are prepared by using heat and congealing method using gelatin as
gelling agent
Conclusion: Hard candy lozenges prepared by using HPMC K15, K100M are elegant, non
friable and exhibited good hardness. Soft jelly lozenges formulations have shown increased
viscosity and decreased syneresis with increase in the concentration of gelling agent.
