Spray dried vaccine formulations might be an alternative to traditional lyophilized vaccines. Compared to lyophilization, spray drying is a fast and cheap process extensively used for drying biologicals. The current study provides an approach that utilizes Design of Experiments for spray drying process to stabilize whole inactivated influenza virus (WIV) vaccine. The approach included systemati...

The practical definition for the expert system, as a system simulating the expert methods and knowledge in dealing with or manipulating special tasks is presented. The application of such a system in powder technology is attempted. The main features of the proposed system design are documented. It constitutes, actually, another part of an effort towards building an expert system for powder tech...

In this paper we overview and describe the characteristics of various types of RF plasma system, which are used for different applications such as: powder processing; plasma sintering; plasma sterilization; waste treatment; element separation and nano-powder synthesis.

In this research, an industrial spray dryer was used and the effects of atomizer speed on the physicochemical properties of milk powder, the textural and sensory characteristics of white cheese made from this milk powder were evaluated. For this purpose, whole milk was converted into powder by using three different speeds (10,000, 11,000, and 12,000 rpm). The results showed that by increasing a...
