RESUMO:A maioria dos medicamentos fitoterápicos registrados no Brasil apresenta-se sob a forma farmacêutica sólida, utilizando extratos secos como principal matéria-prima ativa. A técnica de secagem por aspersão (spray drying) tem sido amplamente aplicada na obtenção de extratos secos com melhores características tecnológicas e maior concentração de constituintes com atividade biológica. As propriedades físico-químicas dos produtos produzidos por spray drying são influenciadas por fatores relacionados ao processo, à formulação (material de entrada) e ao equipamento. Nesta revisão são apresentados e discutidos resultados de trabalhos relacionados a parâmetros de processo e formulação, e as aplicações da técnica com enfoque no desenvolvimento de extratos secos oriundos de vegetais, principalmente da flora medicinal brasileira.Unitermos: Secagem por aspersão, produtos naturais, extratos secos, processo.ABSTRACT: "Spray drying of plant extracts: basic remarks and application". In Brazil, the majority of the approved phytomedicines are formulated as solid dosage forms containing plant dried extracts as active component. Spray drying technique has been widely used to obtain dried extracts presenting better technological characteristics and greater concentration of biological active constituents. Physicochemical properties of such products depend on factors related to process, formulation (inlet material) and equipment. This review presents and discusses some studies related to parameters of process and formulation, as well as some technical applications focusing on the development of dried extract from plants, mainly from the Brazilian medicinal flora.
