Amorphophallus Paeoniifolius found wild in the forest region, fruit are multiple seeded containing Starch. To Isolate starch pulp is removed and the macerated with water then filter. Acetone precipitation method is used to isolate starch from filtrate and dried in vacuum dryer at 400C. The physicochemical characteristic of starch has performed such as swelling index, solubility, loss on drying. This study was carried out to compare the binding effects of isolated starch with starch. Granule properties such as angle of repose, moisture content, bulk and tapped densities, Hausner’s ratio, Carr’s index and tablet properties which included weight uniformity, friability, disintegration times, and dissolution rates using standard methods. Starch of varying concentrations of 4, 6 and 8%w/w were used to produce paracetamol granules by wet granulation method.
