  • Sterically stabilized liposomes (SSL) have been introduced for longer circulation in blood than conventional liposomes (CL). However, there are a couple of problems in SSL preparation due to the instability of phospholipid and the degradation of drug in aqueous conditions. To solve these problems, it is necessary to go through lyophilization process. Therefore, in this study, effects of lyophilization on SSL were evaluated for physical characteristics changes upon rehydration of lyophilized SSL such as the particle size, efficiency of drug entrapment, turbidity and drug release. SSL containing streptozocin, a water-soluble anticancer drug as a model compound, were prepared with DSPC and DSPE-PEG 2000. The size was controlled to 100 nm by extrusion with polycarbonate membrane, and sucrose was used as a cryoprotectant for lyophilization at the 1:3 (lipid:sucrose) ratio. Upon rehydration of lyophilized SSL, the average size was in the range of $50{\sim}200\;nm$ which is adequate for longer circulation in blood, and the encapsulation efficiency was kept as its initial state. Rehydrated SSL were not adsorbed to rat plasma protein and revealed a similar drug release profile to that of fresh SSL before lyophilization. Therefore, lyophilization could be introduced efficiently to overcome aqueous instability problems of SSL.

  • Upon lyophilization of Nocardia mediterranei, the effects of cryoprotectants, cell concentration and drying time on viability were examined, The data were treated by computer according to response surface analysis. As a result, the maximum value of presumed viability was 39.3% under the optimal conditions of 1l.6%(v/v) sucrose, $1.16{\times}10^{11}$(CFU/ml) cell concentration, and drying time for 6.18 hrs. We also used the starter cell of rehydrated solution after lyophilization in industrial production, obtained the fermentation pattern and the purity of rifamycin B which were the same with control (FVM) and it is possible for us to use N mediterranei as a starter cell after the storage of lyophilization for 18 months.

  • In order to examine the viability depending on rehydration process and membrane injury of Nocardia mediterranei upon lyophilization, We labeled $3^H$-thymidine in deoxyribonucleic acid of N. mediterrranei to obtain information on the mechanisms of injury caused by lyophilization. Suspensions of rehydrated cells were incubated with added DNase in a buffer solution. Extracellular radioactivity levels appeared to be high in the rehydrated solutions after lyophilization than freezing-thawing. Thus, the membrane systems were injured by lyophilization, but not ovenvhelmed. These considerations were confirmed by electron microscopy. In effects of rehydration, the cell membrane was seriously damaged by strong atmospheric pressure as soon as the inner ampule was opened, but this was not the case without admitting air under vacuum. N. rnediterranei cells, with no additives, were lyophilized and reconstituted without admitting air, virtually about 84% of the cells were viable.

  • Photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) play an important role in water purification, and their application is beneficial for sustainable aquaculture. However, maintaining the microbial stability of PSB from subculturing to preservation is a challenging task. Since improvement in the microbial stability of PSB is a crucial parameter, optimized conditions for cell immobilization and lyophilization were investigated. In PSB immobilization, 0.1-M CaCl2 was found to be the most effective divalent metal ion solution in terms of cost-effectiveness, resulting in beads with a 4-mm diameter and high loading (1.91×109 CFU/mL) of viable cells. Maintenance of cell viability, external appearance, and color of PSB beads was best in 3.5% NaCl during storage. In lyophilization, the addition of skim milk (9%) and dextrose (2%) as cryoprotective additives allowed the highest cell viability. Over an 18-week shrimp breeding period, when optimally manufactured beads and lyophilized powder of PSB were applied to shrimp aquaculture water, NH4+, NO3-, and NO2- were more effectively removed by 55%, 100%, and 100%, respectively, compared to controls. Thus, microbial stability of PSB through optimized cell immobilization and lyophilization was successfully enhanced, enabling a wide application.

  • Trials of investigating the effect of freezing and lyophilization, as the practical lactic starter preservation methods, on the viability and lactic acid producing activity of Lactobacillus bulgaricus NLS-4 have been carried out. After the treatments, both of viability and activity were decreased. However, when the initial cell cocentration was increared, the survival rate against freezing could be raised to 46% and the activity to 0.25% lactic acid whereas those against lyophilization were 22 % and 0.29% lactic acid, respectively. There were further increased maximally when the cell suspension was subjected to freezing and lyophilization after the addition of protective agents such as glycerol and the G. C. G. S. suspending medium.

  • Optimal lyophilization process was developed for manufacturing the dried product of Lactobacillus acidophilus with high cell viability. Three major factors, freezing rate, specific surface area of samples, and stabilizer type and their synergy were shown to play a crucial role in the development of an effective lyophilization process. Finally we found an optimal combination among three process parameters mentioned above; an exceptionally high cell survival percentage of 90% was achieved using the 8.28 cm-1 specific surface area of samples, slow freezing rate, and a stabilizer composition of 4% skim milk +1% glycerol +0.1% calcium chloride.

  • Biologics present a challenge to both the manufacturer and end user. They must usually be formulated as parenterals. However, they are often unstable in liquid form, due to their complex structure and composition. In that case, they must be manufactured using highly specialized processes, such as lyophilization (freeze-drying). Lyophilization nearly eliminates stability issues. Reducing a compound's sensitivity to temperature prolongs its shelf life. However, reconstitution can be cumbersome, involving multiple steps that increase the potential for error. Dual-chamber technology provides an effective alternative, combining a lyophilized drug and diluent in a closed system and enabling reconstitution in a few simple steps.

  • Preservation methods on the physiological and brewing technical characters in bottom and top brewing yeast strains were investigated. The preserved yeasts were reactivated after 24 months storage and grown up to stationary phase. The samples of filter paper storage indicated a higher cell growth and viability during propagation than those of nitrogen and lyophilization storage independent on propagation temperature. In addition, the filter paper storage demonstrated a faster absorption of free amino nitrogen and a highest level of higher aliphatic alcohols production during propagation than other preservation methods, which can be attributed to intensive cell growth during propagation. Moreover, the filter paper storage showed a faster accumulation for glycogen and trehalose during propagation, whereas, in particular, lyophilization storage noted a longer adaptation time regarding synthesis of glycogen and trehalose with delayed cell growth. In beer analysis, the filter paper storage formed an increased higher aliphatic alcohols than control. In conclusion, the preservation of filter paper affected positively on yeast growth, viability and beer quality independent on propagation temperature. In addition, in this study, it was obtained that the HICF and Helm-test can be involved as rapid methods for determination of flocculation capacity.
