About the Book:

The content of the book, Textbook of Pharmaceutical Engineering has been prepared primarily in accordance with the syllabus prepared by the Pharmacy Council of India for B. Pharm 4th semester course. However, the content of the book is not limited to the syllabus only; it provides some relevant information beyond the syllabus which is practically necessary to understand a particular topic. Hence, it seems to be more than the requirement. The language has been kept simple as far as possible, so that the readers can understand the content easily.
