Effect of spray freeze drying on the structural modification and rehydration characteristics of micellar casein powders

Effect of spray freeze drying on the structural modification and rehydration characteristics of micellar casein powders Jinbo Ren, Minjie Liao, Lingjun Ma, Fang Chen, Xiaojun Liao, Xiaosong Hu, Song Miao, John Fitzpatrick, Junfu Ji Abstract Micellar casein (MC) is usually spray-dried into powder form for transportation and storage. However, the micellar structure maintained by colloidal calcium phosphate (CCP) and hydrophobic forces leads to poor rehydration ability of MC powders, which limits its… Continue reading Effect of spray freeze drying on the structural modification and rehydration characteristics of micellar casein powders

Stable and inhalable powder formulation of mRNA-LNPs using pH-modified spray-freeze drying

Stable and inhalable powder formulation of mRNA-LNPs using pH-modified spray-freeze drying Koki Ogawa, Otowa Aikawa, Tatsuaki Tagami, Takaaki Ito, Kohei Tahara, Shigeru Kawakami, Tetsuya Ozeki Abstract A powder formulation for mucosal administration of mRNA-encapsulated lipid nanoparticles (mRNA-LNPs) is expected to be useful for respiratory diseases. Although freeze-drying is widely used to obtain solid formulations of mRNA-LNPs, highly hydrosoluble cryoprotectants, such as sucrose are necessary. However, sucrose is not a suitable excipient for… Continue reading Stable and inhalable powder formulation of mRNA-LNPs using pH-modified spray-freeze drying

Freezing behaviour and spray freeze granulation drying of silicon nitride slurries prepared from tert-butyl alcohol and cyclohexane solvent mixtures

Freezing behaviour and spray freeze granulation drying of silicon nitride slurries prepared from tert-butyl alcohol and cyclohexane solvent mixtures Riko Yamazaki, Junichi Tatami, Motoyuki Iijima, Shinya Kawaguchi, Naoki Kondo Abstract A spray freeze granulation drying technique is suitable for obtaining soft and homogeneous granules, but the use of an aqueous slurry could degrade raw materials such as nitride. In this study, the freezing behaviour… Continue reading Freezing behaviour and spray freeze granulation drying of silicon nitride slurries prepared from tert-butyl alcohol and cyclohexane solvent mixtures

Spray freeze-drying for inhalable L-leucine, mannitol-based microparticles: The impact of process variables, L-leucine, and crystallinity on Aerosolization properties

Spray freeze-drying for inhalable L-leucine, mannitol-based microparticles: The impact of process variables, L-leucine, and crystallinity on Aerosolization properties Lorena Pasero, Adamo Sulpizi, Tomaso Guidi, Roberto Pisano Abstract In this study, microparticles carrying salbutamol sulphate were produced by pneumatic spray freeze-drying. The optimal particle size was assessed through a model, associated with a design of experiments. Growing solid concentrations and  flow rate led to decreasing geometric diameters, while… Continue reading Spray freeze-drying for inhalable L-leucine, mannitol-based microparticles: The impact of process variables, L-leucine, and crystallinity on Aerosolization properties
