The implementation of FT-Raman spectroscopy to study solid state moisture induced changes in the crystallographic nature of pharmaceutical excipients - a lesson in humidity

An aqueous solution of sucrose was lyophilised, producing amorphous sucrose. This wasthen stored under different humidity at 25ºC for 1 week, allowing some samples tocrystallise. FT-Raman spectroscopy and PXRD have been successfully shown toqualitatively distinguish between amorphous and crystalline samples of sucrose. The datafrom the two techniques is complementary.
