Solid-phase crystal growth kinetics of spray-dried glucose powders

- Solid-phase glucose crystallization can be modelled using an activated-rate theory.
- Gibbs free energy of activation for glucose increased during crystallization.
- The energy of activation for glucose crystallization is 58 ± 8 kJ mol−1.
- The entropy of activation is −92 ± 27 J mol−1 K−1.
- Solid-phase crystallization for glucose is an entropy-controlled process.
