Introduction Thin films are polymeric strips that disintegrate in the oral cavity and consist of a film-forming agent and an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Generally, thin films disintegrate within seconds, but their composition can be modified to allow slower disintegration and release of…

This study aimed to improve the quality characteristics of fish oil microcapsules from monolayer and multilayer emulsions by optimizing the ultra-sonicated homogenization conditions to obtain a stable source of omega-3 fatty acids to add in food matrix. For that, a response surface methodology trial…

Particle engineering technologies have led to the commercialization of new inhaled powders like PulmoSolTM or PulmoSphereTM. Such platforms are produced by spray drying, a well-known process popular for its versatility, thanks to wide-ranging working parameters. Whereas these powders contain a high…

During spray drying, dry powder is circulated into the nozzle zone to force collisions, inducing agglomeration. This study systematically determined the effect of fine powder mass flowrate (varying from 7.1 ± 1.2–15.9 ± 0.5 kg∙h−1), drying air temperature (160–200 °C), and drying air mass flowrate…

Abstract For the first time on food powders, environmental Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to probe single particle surface properties in real time by variating relative humidity (RH) and temperature. Low, intermediate, and high dextrose equivalent (DE) maltodextrins values were used as a…

Solid dosage forms based on hypromellose (HPMC) with prolonged/extended drug release are very important from the research and industrial viewpoint. In the present research, the influence of selected excipients on carvedilol release performance from HPMC-based matrix tablets was studied. A…

Particulate amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) have been recognised for their potential to enhance the performance of various solid dose forms, especially oral bioavailability and macromolecule stability. However, the inherent nature of spray-dried ASDs leads to their surface cohesion/adhesion,…

Colon targeting is an ongoing challenge, particularly for the oral administration of biological drugs or local treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In both cases, drugs are known to be sensitive to the harsh conditions of the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and, thus, must be protected.…

Previous studies have shown that humans can taste maltooligosaccharides but not maltopolysaccharides (MPS; DP of >20) and that their taste detection is independent of the canonical sweet taste receptor. The objectives of this study were to determine the DP ranges of target stimuli that are…

Advances in existing drying techniques are essential for upgrading large scale industries. Enzymes are often degraded by drying processes. Spray drying (SD) has detrimental effects on bioactive molecules at high temperatures. Freeze-drying (FD) is a reference technique capable of drying sensible…
