Abstract

Combining an amino acid and a sugar is a known strategy in the formulation of spray or freeze dried biomolecule powder formulations. The effect of the amino acid leucine in enhancing performance of spray-dried powders has been previously demonstrated, but interaction effects of several constituents which may provide multiple benefits, are less well-understood.
