AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the effects of adding soybean polysaccharide to the spray drying process of total flavonoids extracted from Epimedium, focusing on its ability to prevent wall sticking during drying.
  • Findings reveal that soybean polysaccharide significantly improves powder properties, such as fluidity and moisture absorption, without altering the grain size of the final product.
  • The results suggest that soybean polysaccharide has potential applications in enhancing the spray drying of traditional Chinese medicine extracts.

Article Abstract

In order to evaluate the characteristics of the spray drying of total flavonoids of Epimedium extracts assisted with soybean polysaccharide, a certain percentage of soybean polysaccharide or polyvidone were added to the total flavonoids of Epimedium extract to conduct the spray drying. The effect of soybean polysaccharides against the wall sticking effect of the spray drying was detected, as well as the powder property of total flavonoids of Epimedium spray drying powder and the dissolution in vitro behavior of the effective component. Compared with the total flavonoids of Epimedium spray drying powder, soybean polysaccharide revealed a significant anti-wall sticking effect. The spray drying power which had no notable change in the grain size made a increase in the fluidity, improvement in the moisture absorption and remarkable rise in the dissolution in vitro behavior. It was worth further studying the application of soybean polysaccharide in spray drying power of traditional Chinese medicine.

Drying is a crucial unit operation within the functional foods and biopharmaceutical industries, acting as a fundamental preservation technique and a mechanism to maintain these products' bioactive components and nutritional values. The heat-sensitive bioactive components, which carry critical quality attributes, necessitate a meticulous selection of drying methods and conditions backed by robust research. In this review, we investigate challenges associated with drying these heat-sensitive materials and examine the impact of various drying methods.

Protein stabilization in spray drying and solid-state storage by using a 'molecular lock' - exploiting bacterial adaptations for industrial applications.

Small, stable biomedicines, like peptides and hormones, are already available on the market as spray dried formulations, however large biomolecules like antibodies and therapeutic enzymes continue to pose stability issues during the process. Stresses during solid-state formation are a barrier to formulation of large biotherapeutics as dry powders. Here, we explore an alternative avenue to protein stabilisation during the spray drying process, moving away from the use of excipients.

Spray drying of reconstituted skim milk fermented with GG: control of glass transition and stickiness.

The effects of glass transition and stickiness on the direct spray drying of reconstituted skim milk (RSM) fermented with GG (LGG) were investigated. The fermented RSM did not spray dry properly due to severe wall depositions; however, it dried well (comparable to the control; RSM with resuspended LGG cells) when skim milk powder (SMP) was added. Adding SMP significantly increased the glass transition and sticky point temperatures of spray-dried powder, ranging from 18.

Pharmaceutical nanosuspensions, also called nanocrystals, are heterogeneous mainly aqueous dispersions of insoluble drug particles stabilised by surfactants and/or polymers. Nanosuspensions as liquid formulations suffer from instability. Solidification of nanosuspensions to solid dosage forms is a way to combine the advantages of nanocrystals with the advantages of the solid state.

Background: Pomegranate peel extract (PPE) is rich in polyphenols, notably punicalagin and ellagic acid, but is sensitive to environmental degradation and has low bioavailability. Microencapsulation can enhance PPE stability and bioaccessibility, making it suitable for functional foods like jelly gummies (JG). JG containing microencapsulated PPE (MPPE) have not been studied.
