Particle size analysis of empty and prednisolone loaded DDG kafirin microparticles formulated with 350 mg prednisolone, 400 mg kafirin and 0.1 M NaCl. Data shows the volume mean diameter, d, where 10%, 50% and 90% of the particles are below the reported number, the surface area mean diameter D(3,2) and the volume mean diameter D(4,3), all measured in µm.
