Abstract
Processes and apparatuses for producing biologically-active, protein-rich microparticles under ambient conditions are disclosed. A protein solution is atomized and collected in a dehydration solvent that is being mixed. The resulting protein microparticles retain high specific activity without the need for large amounts of stabilizing excipients.
