Spray Drying of Whey / wheat germ oil - mixture
Application Note Mini Spray Dryer B-290 Whey / wheat germ oil - mixture
Spray drying is an efficient technique for drying and encapsulating mixtures of whey protein and wheat germ oil. The process involves atomizing a solution of the mixture into fine droplets, which are then dried by hot air to form a dry powder. The resulting powder has good solubility and stability, making it suitable for use in various food and pharmaceutical applications.
Whey protein is a high-quality protein source with excellent nutritional properties, while wheat germ oil is a rich source of essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Combining these two ingredients can create a functional food ingredient with enhanced nutritional benefits.
Spray drying can be optimized to control the particle size and morphology of the resulting powder, which can influence the powder's functional properties, such as dispersibility, emulsifying ability, and encapsulation efficiency. Overall, spray drying of whey protein and wheat germ oil mixture is a promising method for the production of functional food ingredients with improved nutritional properties.
