“…[5] Several techniques can be applied for this goal, such as freeze drying, [6][7][8] spouted bed drying, [9,10] fluidized bed drying, [11][12][13][14] and spray drying. [4,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Spray drying is probably the most common technique used in the phytopharmaceutical industries, [5,17,19] mostly due to the several advantages presented by this technology, such as operational flexibility, [23] an applicability for heat-sensitive materials, [24][25][26][27][28] as well as an affordable cost. [23] Furthermore, spray-dried powders may be engineered with optimized characteristics, such as a high stability and an ease of handling, transportation, and storage.…”
