Optimization of spray drying process conditions for recombinant stem bromelain

Bromelain is a plant protease with numerous therapeutic, industrial and analytical applications. Spray drying of enzyme often leads to loss of enzymatic activity arising from thermal denaturation. Hence, the design of a suitable drying process should provide a great level of active enzyme. The pr...
