2.2. Flou p epa a ion

Flou wa e con en le els we e se a 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 13%, 15%, 25%, 30% and 39% ± 0.5%.
The wa e con en o 2.5% was ob ained by ice lou lyophiliza ion in F eeZone 1, Labconco

2.3. Mic owa e abso p ion capaci y o ice lou s
Rice lou samples o di e en wa e con en s we e weigh ed and ca e ully homogenously

Whe e α is a enua ion,  is he phase shi , S12 is he sca e ing coe icien when he sample

In e ms o powe , he a enua ion can be ob ained om he o mula:

2.4 Mic owa e ea men
The mic owa e ea men was p o ided wi h cus omized mic owa e o en (900 W) R342INW

The lou empe a u e e olu ion du ing he MWT was measu ed wi h Tes o e m he mome e

2.5. Scanning elec on mic oscopy (SEM)
A mic oscope model Quan a 200-F (FEI, O egon, USA) was used o s udy he mo phological

2.6. X-Ray Di ac ion
The di ac ion assessmen was p oceeded using a B uke -D8-Disco e -A25 di ac ome e

The c ys allini y o samples was de e mined om di ac og ams based on he ela ion be ween

2.7. Di e en ial Scanning Calo ime y
Gela iniza ion and e og ada ion ansi ions we e assessed by DSC (DSC-822e, Me le Toledo,
SAE). Flou samples, 6 mg, we e weighed in o aluminum pans (40μl) and dis illed wa e was

2.8. Pas ing P ope ies o Flou s
