Summary: This study aimed to promote the micronization of imiquimod using the SAS process, finding that increasing pressure tends to increase particle size, concentration leads to an increase in size, and temperature results in a reduction in size. The combination of process variables affects particle size and yield, enhancing data reproducibility.

Summary: A new antisolvent recrystallization technique was used to create genistein particles. The response surface approach was used to optimize the experimental parameters and find the ideal conditions. The antisolvent recrystallization method showed better dissolution rate and antioxidant activity compared to the traditional method, and it also reduced particle size and energy consumption.

Summary: The effects of processing conditions on the polymorphism of indomethacin were studied, and it was found that consistent formation of the pure alpha polymorphic form was only achieved when poloxamer 407 was used as an additive. The GAS method combined with poloxamer 407 as a molecular additive allowed for full control over the polymorphic form of indomethacin, regardless of the processing conditions employed.

Summary: Submicron particles were produced from an ethanolic extract of Myrtus communnis leaves using supercritical carbon dioxide technology. The particles had small sizes, quasi-spherical shape, and high antioxidant activity. It was also observed that increasing pressure and temperature resulted in smaller particle sizes.

Summary: This study presents a novel method called BIOSAS for formulating homogeneous dispersions of bioactive substances in an oily matrix. The method utilizes carbon dioxide supercritical antisolvent (SAS) technique to produce small drops of solution containing the bioactive substances. It allows for particle size control and can be used to formulate lipid-based nutraceuticals or food supplements, contributing to reducing the oxidation and thermal degradation of bioactive substances and lipid matrix.
