The technology of freeze-drying first gained wide application in the food industry, but recent technological advances means that there are now important uses of freeze-drying (or lyophilization) in the pharmaceutical industry because of the increasing promise of stability of product at the molecular level throughout the entire manufacturing process. Profiling the state of the technology, Rey (a former Head of Corporate Research and Development, Nestl, Switzerland) and May (director, Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research of the Food and Drug Administration) collect 22 papers profiling a range of research findings and applications, including issues of characterization, equipment, and process validation.
