Abstract:
PURPOSE:The aim was to investigate the influence of polymer content and molecular weight on the morphology and heat- and moisture-induced transformations, as indicators of stability, of spray-dried composite particles of amorphous lactose and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). METHODS:Amorphous lactose and composite particles of amorphous lactose with different contents and molecular weights of PVP were prepared by spray drying. The nanostructure of the particles was analyzed by x-ray powder diffractometry, the morphology by light microscopy and SEM, the glass transition temperatures (Tg), crystallization temperatures (Tc), heats of crystallization and melting temperatures by differential scanning calorimetry, and moisture-induced crystallizations gravimetrically and by microcalorimetry. RESULTS:All the types of particles prepared were amorphous. The Tg was unchanged or only marginally increased as a result of the inclusion of PVP. However, crystallization temperature, time to moisture-induced crystallization, and particle morphology were affected by both content and molecular weight of PVP. CONCLUSIONS:Increased content and molecular weight of PVP may have the potential to increase the physical stability of amorphous lactose. However, Tg seems not to be a relevant indicator for the stability of this type of amorphous composite materials.
