Atmospheric Spray Freeze-Drying / A more sustainable lyophilization process · Rautenberg A, Beutler T, Lamprecht A · University of Bonn und GEA Lyophil GmbH und University of Bonn
Spray-freeze-drying Efficiency Sustainability Lyophilisates Powders As industries increasingly prioritize sustainability and energy conservation, also the pharmaceutical sector is focussing on optimizing its processes. In 2022, the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and preparations in Germany alone consumed over 3 GWh, excluding broader chemical production [ 1 ]. Drying plays a crucial role in ensuring the physical, chemical, and microbial stability of pharmaceutical products. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those derived from biotechnological processes, are highly sensitive to heat. Freeze-drying (FD), also known as lyophilization, has become indispensable due to its gentle handling of thermolabile substances. However, it is also one of ...
