Spray Drying of Dextrin
Spray Drying of Dextrin with the Mini Spray Dryer B-290
Dextrin is a carbohydrate that is commonly used as a food additive and pharmaceutical excipient. Spray drying is a popular method used to produce dry powders of dextrin, which can improve its stability, solubility, and bioavailability.
During the spray drying process, a liquid dextrin solution 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 various applications.
Areas of spray drying of dextrin 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 dextrin powders are commonly used in various applications, such as in food products as a bulking agent or thickener, and in pharmaceutical formulations as an excipient or binder. The use of spray drying technology ensures consistent quality and high production efficiency, making it a preferred method for producing dextrin-based dry powders.
