Abstract
There is provides a method for producing sieved low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose (L-HPC) at improved yield, while maintaining flowability and tablet properties. More specifically, there is provided a method for producing sieved L-HPC including a first sieving step of sieving L-HPC having a hydroxypropoxy group content of 5 to 16% by mass with a sieving shaker with horizontal movement of a sieve surface to obtain first sieve-residual L-HPC and first sieve-passed L-HPC, a second sieving step of sieving the first sieve-residual L-HPC with a sieving shaker with vertical movement of a sieve surface to obtain second sieve-residual L-HPC and second sieve-passed L-HPC, and a step of combining the first sieve-passed L-HPC and the second sieve-residual L-HPC to obtain the sieved L-HPC.
