JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives

The student shall learn about Industrial area design, Current good

manufacturing practices. They also learn about packaging components, polymers and metals used in packaging. They also understand about the storage conditions of different formulations and their stability evaluations.

Course Outcomes

At the end of the semester student will get an idea about Industrial area design

and packaging of different formulations and its stability conditions.
