Pharmaceutical processing technology encompasses the methods and engineering used to turn active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients into finished, stable, and effective medicinal products. It spans the stages of drug manufacture, including formulation, particle and powder processing, mixing, granulation, drying, compression and coating of tablets, encapsulation, and the preparation of solutions, suspensions, and other dosage forms, along with packaging and quality control. The field draws on chemical engineering, materials science, and increasingly on advanced techniques such as supercritical fluid processing and other technologies that improve solubility, particle properties, and product consistency. The goal is to produce medicines that are safe, reproducible, and of high quality at scale, while meeting strict regulatory and stability requirements. Within the journal's coverage of Advanced Pharmaceutical Science And Technology, related work includes a review of supercritical fluid technology, an approach used in pharmaceutical processing to control particle formation and extraction. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to pharmaceutical processing technology, supporting readers interested in formulation, manufacturing methods, and the technologies that translate drug substances into reliable therapeutic products.
