SPRAY DRYING INVESTIGATIONS ON MEDICINAL PLANT BASED PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS

Abstract

In the paper we report about spray drying investigations on medicinal herb extracts. We investigated the production technologies of up-to-date pharmaceutical products and natural raw materials of drugs. In this paper we report in detail about spray drying investigation of some medicinal plants and about how to define the operational features of these products. In our tests we could find that the extract of camomile, rose hip and lime blossom can be processed well by spray drying. We worked out the main operational features to be applied when using spray drying under industrial circumstances.
