Microencapsulation of hop bioactive compounds by spray drying: Role of inlet temperature and wall…
This study explores the effect of spray-drying (SD) inlet temperatures (Tinlet 120 and 150 °C) and wall material on the chemical and physico-chemical properties of microencapsulated hop extracts (MHE). Hop extract was formulated with maltodextrin (MD) and gum Arabic (GA) used in single or in…

Studies on enhancement of solubility and dissolution properties of Nimodipine by solid dispersion…
Nimodipine, a member of calcium channel blocker, specifically binds to L-type voltage-gated calcium channels. The maximum solubility of nimodipine was found at pH 1.2 and solubility decreases up to pH 4.0. At a pH 6.0 and higher pH, solubility reduces drastically. Suitable solid dispersion systems…

Impact of two-step glidant mixing process on flow performance of coated curcumin – in vitro,…
Curcumin is a well-known phenolic compound obtained from Curcuma Longa L. It is used popularly as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antithrombotic, anticancer as well as immune-modulator. In the last couple of years, few studies showed the usefulness of curcumin against Helicobacter…

Novel fast dissolving freeze dried sublingual baicalin tablets for enhanced hepatoprotective effect:…
Baicalin (BG), a natural product, has been used in the prevention and treatment of drug-induced liver injury (DILI); however, its poor solubility and extensive liver metabolism limit its pharmacological use. The aim of the present study was the formulation of fast-dissolving freeze-dried sublingual…

Medication Lubricants for Oral Delivery of Drugs: Oral Processing Reduces Thickness, Changes…
Abstract
Swallowing oral solid dosage forms is challenging for those who have medication swallowing difficulties, including patients with dysphagia. One option is to mix the drug (whole or crushed) with a thick vehicle (medication lubricant). Previous in vitro studies consistently suggest that…

Spray-Dried Chitosan Hydrogel Particles as a Potential Delivery System for Benzydamine Hydrochloride
Abstract
Chitosan, being a biocompatible and mucoadhesive polysaccharide, is one of the most preferred hydrogel-forming materials for drug delivery. The objectives of the present study are to obtain spray-dried microparticles based on low-molecular-weight chitosan and study their potential…

Maltodextrin-Based Cross-Linked Electrospun Mats as Sustainable Sorbents for the Removal of Atenolol…
Abstract
Maltodextrins are products of starch hydrolysis that can be processed into dry fibres through electrospinning and subsequently cured via mild thermal treatment to obtain nonwoven cross-linked polysaccharide-based mats. The sustainability of the process and the bioderived nature make this…

Influence of Nozzle Geometry and Scale-Up on Oil Droplet Breakup in the Atomization Step during…
Spray drying of oil-in-water emulsions is a widespread encapsulation technique. The oil droplet size (ODS) significantly impacts encapsulation efficiency and other powder properties. The ODS is commonly set to a specific value during homogenization, assuming that it remains unchanged throughout the…
