Spray Drying of Protein hydrolysate
Protein hydrolysate is a widely used ingredient in many food and nutritional supplement products. Spray drying is a common technique that can be used to convert liquid protein hydrolysate solutions into a dry powder form, which has several advantages over liquid solutions.
Spray drying of protein hydrolysate involves the atomization of a liquid solution into small droplets using a spray nozzle. The droplets are then passed through a drying chamber, where they are exposed to a stream of hot air. As the droplets travel through the drying chamber, the water content evaporates, leaving behind the dry protein particles.
The dried particles are then separated from the hot air stream using a cyclone separator or a bag filter. The resulting powder is easy to store and transport, has a longer shelf life than liquid solutions, and is more convenient to use in many applications.
Spray drying of protein hydrolysate is a highly efficient process that allows for the production of large quantities of dry protein powder in a short period of time. It is also a cost-effective method that ensures consistent quality in the final product.
