The purpose of this research was to develop fast dissolving tablets of olanzapine and to optimize the processing variables. Tablets containing olanzapine, camphor, crosscarmellose, and directly compressible lactose were prepared by direct compression technique. The tablets were compressed and later exposed to vacuum. Sublimation of camphor from tablets resulted in superior fast dissolving table...

Spirulina platensis is a high protein content cyanobacterium with known therapeutic properties. Its main protein Phycocyanin is currently as a functional ingredient into various food products to enhance their nutritional qualities acting as food colorant, antioxidant and emulsifier, reducing the use of synthetic additives. The post-harvest treatment of the microalga affects its content of prote...

In the big vacuum freeze-drying equipment, the drying rate of materials is uneven at different positions. This phenomenon can be explained by the uneven distribution of vapor pressure in chamber during the freeze-drying process. In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to describe the vapor flow in the passageways either between material plates and in the channel between plate groups. T...

Objective: Potato is the fourth important food crop after wheat, rice and maize. Shrinkage  of  food  materials  has  a negative  consequence  on  the  quality  of  the dehydrated product. The main objective pursued in this paper is to investigate the shrinkage amount of potato slices during drying process using vacuum-infrared method. Methods: In this work, the effect of the infrared radiation...

Luostarinen, K. 2006. Effects of environmental and internal factors of trees and timber treatment on colour of dried birch (Betula pendula) wood. University of Joensuu, Faculty of Forestry. Wood of silver birch (Betula pendula) has good properties that lead to its extensive use in mechanical wood industries in Finland. However, a problem with sawn birch timber is the darkening of the wood durin...

In this study, the effect of edible coat (carboxy methyl cellulose) before osmotic dehydration anddifferent drying methods on sensory and physical properties of dried apple (V. Golden delicious)rings was investigated. The coated and non-coated samples pretreated with 50% sucrose osmoticsolution and dried in freeze drier (-40 to -50°C, 0.026-0.017 mbar, 24 hr), vacuum drier (70°C, 200mbar, 8-10 ...
