Spray Drying of Cucurbitae sem (pumpkin seed extract)
Spray Drying of Cucurbitae sem (pumpkin seed extract) with the Mini Spray Dryer B-290
Spray drying is a technique used to convert liquids into dry powders by atomizing them into a hot gas stream. Cucurbita sem (pumpkin seed extract) is a natural product that has been found to have various health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as potential benefits for prostate and bladder health.
Spray drying of cucurbita sem extract has been explored as a method for producing a stable and bioavailable powder that can be used in dietary supplements and functional foods. Key areas of focus in spray drying of cucurbita sem extract include optimizing the process parameters, such as inlet temperature, outlet temperature, feed rate, and spray pressure, to achieve the desired particle size, morphology, and yield.
Additionally, research has been conducted to evaluate the impact of different processing aids and excipients on the physical and chemical stability of the cucurbita sem powder, as well as its bioactivity and functionality. Other areas of interest include the encapsulation of cucurbita sem extract within nanoparticles or liposomes to enhance its bioavailability and target specific tissues or cells.
