Microencapsulation, Spray Drying and Freeze Drying

Abstract:

Microencapsulation, Spray Drying and Freeze Drying nowadays have several interesting applications and many new innovative fields are waiting to be explored. Laboratory scale instruments are excellant tools to start developing new applications thanks to short process, reduced sample amounts and short cleaning time. Small scale units are also excellently suited to investigate current processes and worst-case limits which are highly valuable information for the subsquent upscaling. Up-scaling can however become quite cost effective and a smart use of experimental tools during scale up can lead to limited experiments at manufacturing scale and therefore save costs.
