Funded Activity Summary

Particle Design for Recovery and Delivery of Bioactives. This project will develop new strategies for economically viable recovery of bioactives from complex solutions, slurries and sludges of biomaterials eg. waste streams from milk and soy bean processing, and fermentation broths. These bioactives, often proteins, have growing applications as high value drugs, nutriceuticals and food additives but are difficult to separate and to maintain in an active form. Crystallisation will be used as a primary separation technique. Molecular studies of protein interactions will be used to predict good crystallisation conditions and linked to process crystallisation studies. Both standard and novel particle design strategies will be used to control crystal size and morphology, as well as package the boactive in a deliverable form without loss of activity.
