Spray Drying of Chicory extract
Spray Drying of Chicory extract with the Mini Spray Dryer B-290
Chicory extract is a natural product derived from the roots of the chicory plant and is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Spray drying is a technique that can be used to convert chicory extract into a dry powder, which can have advantages for various applications, such as food and beverage processing, dietary supplements, and topical formulations.
The areas of focus in spray drying of chicory extract include optimizing the process parameters, such as inlet temperature, outlet temperature, atomizer type, feed rate, and solvent composition, to achieve the desired particle size, morphology, and bioactivity of the chicory extract powder. Additionally, research has been conducted to evaluate the impact of different processing aids and excipients on the physical and chemical properties of the chicory extract powder, such as its solubility, stability, and antioxidant activity.
Other areas of interest include the development of novel chicory extract-based products with unique properties, such as improved bioavailability or enhanced sensory characteristics, for various applications, such as nutraceuticals or cosmetics. Spray drying has also been explored as a potential method for producing chicory extract powders with tailored functional properties, such as improved solubility or release kinetics. Overall, spray drying of chicory extract offers a promising approach for improving the functionality and performance of chicory extract-based products in various applications.
