Stable submicron protein particles : formation, properties, and pulmonary applications
The spray freezing into liquid (SFL) and thin film freezing (TFF) processes were utilized to produce 300 nm protein particles with surface areas on the order of 31 - 73 m²/g and 100% protein activities. Despite a cooling rate of ~10²-10³ K/s in SFL and TFF, the particle sizes and surface areas were …
