Drying Characteristics of Jackfruit and Snake Fruit using Freeze Dryer

Freeze-drying fungi using a shelf freeze-drier.

Lyophilization, the removal of water by freezing and then volatilization at low pressure and temperature, has been employed as a standard long-term preservation method for many filamentous fungi. The method outlined involves the use of standard shelf freeze-drying and skimmed milk as a suspending solution/lyoprotectant. This approach has been employed to freeze-dry the majority of the 50,000 fu...

Circulating-Gas Freeze Drying

WAGMAN, JACK (U.S. Army Biological Laboratories, Frederick, Md.) AND EDWARD J. WENECK. Preservation of bacteria by circulating-gas freeze drying. Appl. Microbiol. 11:244-248. 1963.-Water-washed Serratia marcescens and Escherichia coli were freeze dried in a circulating-gas system at atmospheric pressure. This convective procedure resulted in a substantially higher survival of organisms than cou...

Formulation of Nanoparticle Containing Everolimus Using Microfluidization and Freeze-Drying.

The aims of this study were to improve in vitro dissolution property of poorly water-soluble everolimus (EVR) for enhanced bioavailability without using organic solvents and characterize the effects of microfluidization and freeze-drying on physicochemical properties of EVR nanosuspension and nanoparticle, respectively. EVR nanosuspension was prepared using microfluidization with various types ...

Freeze-drying of Aegyptianella pullorum.

Heparinized whole blood, parasitized with Aegyptianella pullorum, was collected from 2 fowls. Buffered lactose peptone (BLP) was added v/v as a stabilizer and the mixture lyophilized in 2 ml aliquots after rapid or slow freezing. At different stages during the freeze-drying process, as well as after lyophilization and reconstitution with 1.8 ml of sterile water, samples were taken and injected ...
