Inulin, a fructan-type polysaccharide, consists of (2→ 1) linked β-d-fructosyl residues (n= 2–
60), usually with an (1↔ 2) α-d-glucose end group. The applications of inulin and its …

This review aims to provide an overview of current knowledge on stabilization of proteins by
sugars in the solid state in relation to stress conditions commonly encountered during drying …

The pulmonary route is an interesting route for drug administration, both for effective local
therapy (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cystic fibrosis) and for the …

Introduction: Early dry powder inhalers (DPIs) were designed for low drug doses in asthma
and COPD therapy. Nearly all concepts contained carrier-based formulations and lacked …

In this study pulmonary vaccination with a new influenza subunit vaccine powder was
evaluated. Vaccine powder was produced by spray-freeze drying (SFD) using the …

This study evaluates methods used for granule shape characterization. The aim is to identify
