| Abstract #33540: | Drying of sodium alginate using Pressurized Gas eXpanded (PGX-SA) liquid technology |
Ceapro has conducted research on a number of various biopolymer samples from different sources. These studies conducted in collaboration with Dr. Feral Temelli’s team at University of Alberta further demonstrate the versality of PGX Technology. Results of these studies illustrate the potential to dry, purify, micronize and functionalize proteins, peptides, and polysaccharides that can lead to the development of highly potent bioactive delivery systems with desirable characteristics. Additionally, the studies demonstrate the potential to generate new material (PGX SA) that exhibits a unique fibrous structure, which can be very desirable for wound healing applications or bioactive delivery systems.
