Spray Drying of Mango juice
Application Note Mini Spray Dryer B-290 Mango juice
Spray drying is a commonly used technique for producing dry powders from liquids, and has been applied to mango juice to create a mango powder with extended shelf life and improved handling characteristics. Mango juice is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and spray drying offers a way to preserve these beneficial compounds while providing a convenient, shelf-stable product.
The process of spray drying involves atomizing the mango juice into a fine mist and then exposing it to a stream of hot air, which evaporates the water and leaves behind a dry powder. The resulting mango powder has a longer shelf life, improved handling characteristics, and can be easily stored and transported.
The mango powder produced by spray drying has a wide range of applications, including the food and beverage industry. It can be used as an ingredient in smoothies, yogurts, baked goods, and other food products to add a natural mango flavor and color. Additionally, the powder can be used in the production of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals.
In summary, spray drying of mango juice is a promising technology that offers a way to preserve the beneficial compounds in mango juice while providing a convenient, shelf-stable product. The applications of mango powder produced by spray drying extend to the food and beverage industry, as well as the nutraceutical and dietary supplement industries.
