Spray Drying of Fructose / amino acid mixture
Spray Drying of Fructose / amino acid mixture with the Mini Spray Dryer B-290
Spray drying is a process used to convert liquid mixtures into dry powders. In the case of a fructose/amino acid mixture, spray drying is a popular method of producing dry powders for use in the food and beverage industry.
During the spray drying process, a liquid mixture of fructose and amino acids is atomized into fine droplets and dried in a hot air stream to produce a dry powder. The resulting powder has good flowability, solubility, and stability, making it ideal for use in various food and beverage products.
Areas of spray drying of fructose/amino acid mixture include the selection of appropriate raw materials, formulation development, process optimization, and product characterization. The optimal processing conditions such as temperature, flow rate, and inlet/outlet conditions are determined to optimize the particle size, powder yield, and other physicochemical properties of the resulting powder.
Spray-dried fructose/amino acid powders are commonly used as a sweetener or flavor enhancer in various food and beverage products such as sports drinks, energy bars, and nutritional supplements. The use of spray drying technology ensures consistent quality and high production efficiency.
