Goat's whey was submitted to two cycles of block freeze concentration process, resulting in concentrate 1 and concentrate 2. Concentrate 1 was added with 5 g of inulin and both concentrates were inoculated with Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis BB-12, the concentrates were then denoted as feed solutions 1 and 2, respectively. Feed solutions were spray-dried, resulting in powder 1 and 2. The stability of the bifidobacteria entrapped within the powders was evaluated for both spray-dried powders stored at 4 °C and 25 °C for 60 days. The spray-dried powders were also evaluated in relation to their physical and thermal properties. It was noted that Bifidobacteria displayed increased stability at refrigeration temperature. Analysis of physical properties indicated that the addition of inulin resulted in increased water solubility. However, both spray-dried powders displayed less flowability, as well as a yellow-greenish color. By evaluating the spray-dried powders thermal properties, it was possible to confirm that goat whey concentrates behave as excellent wall materials.

Background: Spray drying, whilst a popularly employed technique for powder formulations, has limited applications for large-scale proliposome manufacture.

Objectives: Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate spray drying parameters, such as inlet temperature (80, 120, 160, and 200 °C), airflow rate (357, 473, and 601 L/h) and pump feed rate (5, 15, and 25%), for individual carbohydrate carriers (trehalose, lactose monohydrate (LMH), and mannitol) for 24 spray-dried (SD) formulations (F1-F24).

Methods: Following optimization, the SD parameters were trialed on proliposome formulations based on the same carriers and named as spray-dried proliposome (SDP) formulations.

This study explores the development and characterization of spray-dried composite microparticles consisting of levofloxacin (LVX, a broad-spectrum antibiotic), and ambroxol (AMB, a mucolytic agent that has antibacterial and antibiofilm properties), for the intended application of the drug against lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). A range of LVX to AMB mass ratios (1:1, 1:0.5, and 1:0.

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.

Food Sci Biotechnol

January 2025

Food Technology Major, Graduate School of International Agricultural Technology, Seoul National University, Pyeongchang, 25354 Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined how glass transition and stickiness impacted the spray drying of fermented reconstituted skim milk (RSM), finding that the process resulted in issues with wall deposits without the addition of skim milk powder (SMP).
  • - When SMP was added, the drying process improved significantly, with heightened temperatures for the glass transition and sticky point, helping the droplets transform from a sticky state to a non-sticky glassy state during drying.
  • - Despite the spray-dried powder having higher moisture sorption and lactose crystallization, the relationship between glass transition effects suggests that its shelf stability at room temperature could be comparable to that of the control group.

Effect of Moisture Sorption and Lactose Type on Tablet Quality: A Hygroscopicity Study between Lactose Powder and Tablets.

Lactose is one of the most commonly used tablet diluents and fillers. However, the moisture sorption of lactose powder could exert detrimental effects on the excipient itself, as well as on the tablet quality. The effects of storage relative humidity (RH) conditions for different grades of lactose powders and tablets on compression behavior and tablet qualities were investigated.
