This research is focused on the production of structures of biomedical interest using supercritical assisted processes: Supercritical freeze extraction, Supercritical gel drying and Supercritical phase separation. These ...

Purpose of the PhD thesis was to develop dedicated lipid nanostructured vectors with tailored features (in terms of size, surface charge, load capability, stimuli responsive ability and stability) through the design of ...

A methodology to reduce the complexity of the process optimization was applied to multiproduct biorefinery fed by lignocellulosic biomass. A process superstructure was built to consider alternative process pathways to ...

Controlled release systems for therapeutic drugs have received extensive attention in recent years, due to their great clinical potential. Biodegradable microspheres are well-recognized systems to control the release rate ...

The increase in dietary-intake-related illnesses, such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes and cancer, have made in recent years the development of health-and-wellness promoting foods a priority of ...

Changes of cohesive flow properties of powders at high temperature are observed in many industrial process units, such as fluidized bed reactors, granulators and dryers. Many authors investigated the behaviour of powders ...
