TL;DR: In this paper, the hydration properties of durum wheat semolina by determination of water sorption isotherms, and other characterisation techniques to obtain a better understanding of hydration mechanisms were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the wet granulation of fine cosmetic particles using a high-shear mixer granulator on a given particle and binder system is presented, highlighting the shear effect on granule properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of binder properties on torque curves, granule growth kinetics, wet mass consistency and dry granule strength has been investigated in two types of laboratory high shear mixers.

TL;DR: The effect of the main means of agitation in a high shear mixer has been investigated in this article, where granulation runs have been performed on a fine cohesive microcrystalline cellulose powder (Avicel 105, d 50 ǫ = 20μm) often used as a pharmaceutical excipient in tablet formulations in two bowls of a Mi-Pro® laboratory high-shear mixer with a capacity of 0.9 and 1.9 L, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of formulation on granule growth kinetics, the evolution of granule morphology during granulation, the wet mass consistency and dry granule strength of the end product.
