Residual moisture content as related to collapse of freeze-dried sugar matrices

Amorphous sugars were prepared by freeze-drying 20% (w/w) aqueous solutions of lactose, sucrose, trehalose and maltose. The dried samples were further dehydrated over P2O5 for 1 wk at 25, 35 or 45°C, and the residual moisture content was determined using oven drying or a thermogravimetric balance. R...
