Effect of different drying methods on the functional properties of probiotics encapsulated using prebiotic substances K. S. Yoha, J. A. Moses, C. Anandharamakrishnan Abstract Probiotics and prebiotics together work synergistically as synbiotics and confer various health benefits. Many studies on synbiotic foods only focus on the survival of probiotics but fail to evaluate their functional… Continue reading Effect of different drying methods on the functional properties of probiotics encapsulated using prebiotic substances

Recent progress in drying technologies for improving the stability and delivery efficiency of biopharmaceuticals Fakhrossadat Emami, Mahsa Keihan Shokooh, Seyed Jamaleddin Mostafavi Yazdi Abstract Background: Most biopharmaceuticals are developed in liquid dosage forms that are less stable than solid forms. To ensure the stability of biopharmaceuticals, it is critical to use an effective drying technique in the… Continue reading Recent progress in drying technologies for improving the stability and delivery efficiency of biopharmaceuticals

Spray freeze dried niclosamide nanocrystals embedded dry powder for high dose pulmonary delivery Shengyu Zhang, Shen Yan, Kangwei Lu, Shixuan Qiu, Xiao Dong Chen, Winston Duo Wu Abstract Based on the drug repositioning strategy, niclosamide (NCL) has shown potential applications for treating COVID-19. However, the development of new formulations for effective NCL delivery is still challenging. Herein, NCL-embedded dry powder… Continue reading Spray freeze dried niclosamide nanocrystals embedded dry powder for high dose pulmonary delivery

Crystal Size Dependence of the Photo-Electrochemical Water Oxidation on Nanoparticulate CaTiO3 Monika Klusáčková, Roman Nebel, Kateřina Minhová Macounová, Petr Krtil Abstract Nanocrystalline CaTiO3 materials with controlled particle size were prepared using spray-freezing/freeze-drying approach utilizing gelatine as a structure-directing agent. The resulting materials show characteristic particle size between 19 and 60 nm. The shape of the nanocrystals… Continue reading Crystal Size Dependence of the Photo-Electrochemical Water Oxidation on Nanoparticulate CaTiO3

Strategies for stabilization and preservation of liposomes Pintu Chowdhary, L. Mahalakshmi, Sayantani Dutta, J.A. Moses, C. Anandharamakrishnan Abstract The stabilization of liposomes is an important aspect for maintaining the integrity of liposome structure. The stability of liposomes reduces in terms of uncontrollable fusion, undesirable payload loss, short shelf life, and unexpected mixing. Additionally, liposomes undergo… Continue reading Strategies for stabilization and preservation of liposomes
