Jm. Saiter et al., FREEZE-DRYING KINETICS OF SUCROSE-NACL-PROTEIN AQUEOUS MIXTURES, JOURNAL OF THERMAL ANALYSIS AND CALORIMETRY, 51(3), 1998, pp. 905-911
Different aqueous solutions of sucrose-NaCl-protein with different suc
rose/NaCl contents were investigated by DSC and OTA (optical thermal a
nalysis). The crystallization, melting and also the kinetics of freeze
drying were analyzed. The first results show that coupling these anal
yzes might lead to a better understanding of the events which occur du
ring the phase changes. In particular the kinetics of freeze drying we
re found to be drastically different for systems with different compos
itions.
