		                        			 Excipients are important in the composition of drugs and are the most important requirements for maintaining 
the stability of drug form, dosage, and physicochemical parameters. Excipients act as protective agents, 
bulking agents and can also be used to improve bioavailability of drugs in some instances Auxiliary 
substances included in the composition of medicines are classified as natural, animal, synthetic and 
semisynthetic. Excipients can become inactive due to chemical, microbiological and physiological effects. 
Commonly used pharmaceutical excipients are fillers, stabilizers, preservatives, flavor and aroma modifiers, 
binders, disintegrants, lubricants, lubricants, solvents, and coating agents. Excipients can be considered as 
indispensible component of medicinal products and in most of the formulations they are present in greater 
proportion with regards to active pharmaceutical ingredient, as it forms the bulk of the formulation it is 
always necessary to select an excipient which satisfies the ideal properties for a particular excipient.  In this 
review, materials about coating agents widely used in pharmaceutical practice were compiled from electronic 
databases such as Pubmed, Google Scholar, and other scientific web pages, using keywords such as Drug
excipient interaction, Stability in Oral Solid, and Excipient. .

		                        			 The incorporation of botanical elements such as Inula helenium L., Astragalus mongolicus Bge., 
Iris tenuifolia Pall., Ribes diacanthum Pall., and Oxytropis pseudoglandulosa Grubov plays a pivotal role in the formulation of immune-enhancing and kidney-protective Mongolian traditional medicines. These herbal constituents bear rich historical significance in traditional remedies. Ensuring the purity of these herbs is a vital stride in the production of efficacious supplements and medications. Thus, meticulous decontamination of microorganisms assumes paramount importance. The selection of an appropriate sterilization method is important for manufacturers. Sterilization methods divide within three main categories: thermal, chemical, and radiation. This spectrum encompasses many techniques, ranging from moist heat and dry heat to gamma irradiation, ethylene oxide, ozone, and UV treatment. This comprehensive review discusses the efficacy of gamma irradiation, dry heat, moist heat, and chemical treatments, presenting a comparative analysis of their merits. Practically, heat sterilization emerges as a simple and cost-efficient choice. The utilization of an autoclave, subjecting powdered spice paprika to temperatures between 108-125°C for 120 seconds, yielded a substantial reduction in microbial load without compromising the integral bioactive compounds. Gamma 
irradiation, a common practice in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, stands as another choice in the area of sterilization techniques. Beyond sterilization, upholding rigorous standards of sanitation and hygiene remains a key in the preparations of medicinal plants.

dual plunger pump; analytical column:  Shimadzu GIST С18 150 x 4.6 mm, particle size 5 μm; flow rate: 1 
ml/min; column temperature: 400C, detection: UV 275 nm. Chromatographic procedure: 20 μl of the mixed 
standard preparation and assay (sample) preparation were separately injected into the chromatography, the 
chromatograms were recorded, and the responses for the major peaks were measured. The run time was 
approximately 15 minutes.
		                        		
		                        			Results
		                        			 The calibration curves for the salidroside were made by plotting the peak area versus the 
concentration for each analyte using regression analysis. Each calibration curve was obtained using six levels 
of concentrations in the range of 100-800 µg/mL. The linear correlation coefficient (r2=1) for all calibration 
curves was higher than 1 for all analytes. The LOD and LOQ for salidroside were golden root dry extract 
in 8.788 µg/mL and 26.61 µg/mL, respectively. Accuracy and precision were assessed by analyzing five 
samples independently prepared at low, middle, and high concentrations. The RSD values of repeatability 
and intermediate precision were below 1.12%, 1.19 and 1.79%. The accuracy remains between 91 to 109%. 
The resulting accuracy data were satisfactory for the quantitative analysis of salidroside in golden root dry 
extract. This article presents a simple, accurate, reproducible, and thoroughly validated HPLC-based method 
for qualitative and quantitative analysis of salidroside, as part of the quality assessment of golden root dry 
extract.
