Vacuum spray drying (VSD) is a promising low-temperature drying technique for processing heat-sensitive materials such as probiotic carriers. This study systematically evaluated the influence of chamber pressure, inlet temperature, solid concentration, and sucrose-to-maltodextrin formulation ratios on powder characteristics using a YC-2000 vacuum spray dryer. Results showed that lower chamber pres
The pulmonary route has emerged as a promising strategy for delivering protein therapeutics, particularly for patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary infections. This project investigated the effect of operating parameters of a laboratory spray dryer on the characteristics of powders composed of Bovine Serum Albumin
