Download or read book Freeze Drying of Pharmaceutical and Food Products written by Tse-Chao Hua and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freeze-drying is an important preservation technique for heat-sensitive pharmaceuticals and foods. Products are first frozen, then dried in a vacuum at low temperature by sublimation and desorption, rather than by the application of heat. The resulting items can be stored at room temperature for long periods. This informative text addresses both principles and practice in this area.The first chapter introduces freeze-drying. The authors then review the fundamentals of the technique, heat-mass transfer analyses, modelling of the drying process and the equipment employed. Further chapters focus on freeze-drying of food, freeze-drying of pharmaceuticals and the protective agents and additives applied. The final chapter covers the important subjects of disinfection, sterilization and process validation.Freeze-drying of pharmaceutical and food products is an essential reference for food, pharmaceutical and refrigeration engineers and scientists with an interest in preservation techniques. It will also be of use to students in these fields. - Addresses the principles and practices used in this important preservation technique - Explains the fundamentals of heat-mass transfer analysis, modelling and the equipment used - Discusses the importance of disinfection, sterilization and process validation
Download or read book Spray Freeze Drying of Foods and Bioproducts written by S. Padma Ishwarya and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spray-freeze-drying (SFD) is a synergistic drying technology that imbibes in it the merits of both spray drying and freeze-drying, whilst overcoming the limitations of these predecessor technologies. SFD produces uniquely powdered food and pharmaceutical products with porous microstructure and superior quality attributes. Owing to its atomization step and ultra-low-temperature operation, SFD is a competent drying technique for the production of valuable but sensitive bioactive components. Despite the costs and complexities involved, SFD has a competitive edge over the conventional drying techniques in providing distinctive product attributes. The applications of spray-freeze-drying in the area of food and bioproducts span across the product categories of instant food powders, dry flavors, active pharmaceutical ingredients, poorly water-soluble drugs, probiotics, proteins, enzymes and vaccines. Spray-Freeze-Drying of Foods and Bioproducts: Theory, Applications and Perspectives is the first exclusive title on this interesting drying technique. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of SFD and its food and pharmaceutical applications. The scope of this book, comprising 12 chapters, has been organizedunder four major headings: fundamentals of process-stages, applications with case-studies, recent advancements and the processing bottlenecks and solutions. Key Features Provides examples and case studies of nuances and intricacies associated with each stage of the spray-freeze-drying process Highlights the applications of spray-freeze-drying in the production of food products including soluble coffee, dairy powders, probiotics and flavors Serves as a ready-reckoner of characterization methods for spray-freeze-dried products Contains 200+ illustrations and tabulations The contents of this book are organized to cater to the knowledge needs of students, academicians, researchers and professionals in the food and pharmaceutical industry.
