Polypropyleneglycol (PPG) was used as a dispersion medium for the preparation of microspheres (MS) consisting of starch, gelatin, whey protein or dextran. Aqueous solutions of the polymers were dispersed in PPG at various initial temperatures and then the systems were cooled to 0.5 degrees C to allow water in the dispersed phase to dissolve in PPG. The particle size of the starch-MS was dependent on the initial temperature of PPG in the preparation process. There were two different processes for particle generation in the procedure. One of them was via the formation of a temporary emulsion during the early phase of dispersion of the aqueous polymer solution into PPG. The other was via the stable emulsion in which the aqueous polymer solution was dispersed in water-saturated PPG. The particle size generated in the former process was dependent on the initial temperature: a high temperature gave large particles but a low temperature gave small particles, while that in the latter process was temperature-independent. This preparation method for MS will be useful for the formulation of heat-sensitive material, such as protein-containing drugs.
