Abstract
The latest technological is very advance and had brought many innovative natural polymers to the market and others to the brink of commercialization synthetic and natural occurring polymers in different forms, Which also holds the promise of providing good drug efficacy, reducing toxicity and improving patients compliance. Natural polymers remain attractive primarily because they are natural products of plants, and capable of multitude of chemical modifications. The natural polymers are better and best as compare to synthetic polymers, because synthetic polymers have certain disadvantages such as high cost, various side effects, toxicity and probable polluting agents. Leaves of hibiscus rosa sinensis linn contain high proportion of mucilage and this mucilage can be used for various therapeutic purposes. However, the prime objective present study is isolation and characterization of hibiscus rosa sinensis linn. The said plant was characterized for its identification by chemical tests, solubility, pH, ash value, loss on drying, compressibility index, angle of repose, bulk density, and tapped density. The mechanism of disintegration of the extracted mucilage is swelling form.
