In defining "formulation,” one may consider it as the blending of a different compound that is not- reactionary among themselves to ultimately get a combination that bears some specific characteristics (Conte et al, 2011). Its key importance is the assembling of different components in suitable structures and relationships based on a certain combination formula. A combination of these compounds is made based on a products' standard.
Various products are considered to be made out of a combination of various elements. These products include; paints, food, medicinal tablets, and liquid detergents among others. These products are made out of a combination of various products in a certain proportion that is considered in the formulation. Product designs, therefore, focus much on the results of the combination of various materials. In this case, the formulation is developed systematically under the following five-step:
- Stipulate the end quality that is to be obtained.
- Identify data required to gather the composition of raw materials, the cost, and the qualities.
- Determine the processing variables to be used including the raw materials limits.
- Identify the methodology to use including; experimental design, linear programming, and quantitative techniques.
- Profile the products and consider conducting a test to determine their validity that would help formulation achieve the required quality.
This paper will seek to discuss various products that have been formulated. Various techniques will be discussed for each formulated product. The products in consideration, therefore, will include; pharmaceutical tablets, liquid detergents used in laundry and paints.
