A study of the freeze-drying process in probiotics

BioGaia
May 2020 - Sep 2023

Freeze-drying is one of the most common ways to increase the shelf-life of probiotics and pharmaceutics. The Swedish probiotic company BioGaia wanted to follow the freeze-drying process in-situ to understand how the freezing, annealing and drying steps affect the final material structure. To do this they used large-scale infrastructure techniques. Freeze drying is a very established technique used in the pharmaceutical industry. The established protocols […]
