Spray Drying of High-amylose carboxymethyl starch
Carboxymethyl starch (CMS) is a modified starch that has many applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. High-amylose CMS is a type of CMS with a higher amylose content, which provides improved functional properties, such as increased viscosity and stability. Spray drying is a commonly used technique to produce high-amylose CMS powder.
Spray drying of high-amylose CMS requires careful optimization of several parameters, such as the type of CMS, the drying temperature, and the feed rate. The final powder properties such as particle size, morphology, and viscosity depend on these parameters.
The applications of spray-dried high-amylose CMS powder are diverse and include the production of processed foods, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. High-amylose CMS powder can also be used as a stabilizer, thickener, and binder in cosmetic formulations.
Overall, spray drying of high-amylose CMS is an important process in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, providing a versatile and stable powder form with a range of functional properties that can be applied in various product formulations.
