Whilst freeze drying is known by its high energy requirements, few studies have been conducted assessing the efficiency of freeze dryers, specially related pharmaceuticals. A quantitative analysis is conducted on a batch freeze dryer used for biopharmaceuticals, aiming to know the process efficiency and to identify the components having the highest...
Freeze drying (lyophilization) offers an attractive dehydration method for valuable food and biological products, because it is capable of preserving product quality and biological activity while extending their shelf life. However, despite these benefits in terms of product quality, freeze drying is also a notoriously energy-intensive and time-con...
A procedure for partial digestion of bovine tissue is proposed using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) microvessels inside a baby-bottle sterilizer under microwave radiation for multi-element determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). Samples were directly weighed in laboratory-made polytetrafluoroethylene ves...
