A rational approach towards spray drying of biopharmaceuticals: The case of lysozyme

Development of spray drying of biomolecules has proved challenging primarily due to protein instability caused by high drying temperatures and atomization process. This study suggests a two-step approach towards a better understanding of spray drying process of large biomolecules. Using lysozyme as a model biomolecule a full factorial Design of Experiments (DoE) was employed to define the most critical process and formulation parameters. With...
