The document discusses particle coating using dry powder technology. It examines coating microcrystalline cellulose spheres using various modified polysaccharides in a pan coater. The pan coater achieved coating efficiencies around 85% while other equipment like the Wurster bottom spray coater and rotary disk coater had much lower efficiencies below 5% and around 0% respectively due to issues like powder loss and abrasion. The modified polysaccharides Matrix 2 and Matrix 3 produced the most homogeneous coatings with a continuous film. Dry particle coating using a pan coater and these polysaccharides is a promising environmentally friendly method for applications in food and pharmaceuticals.
