Spray Drying of Xanthan mash
Application Note Mini Spray Dryer B-290 Xanthan mash
Spray drying is an effective technique for drying xanthan gum, a polysaccharide widely used as a food thickener and stabilizer. The process involves atomizing a solution of xanthan gum 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, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
In addition to the traditional method of drying xanthan gum solutions, spray drying can also be used to dry xanthan gum mash. Xanthan mash is a byproduct of xanthan gum production and is rich in xanthan gum, water, and various impurities. Spray drying xanthan mash can produce a dry powder with a high concentration of xanthan gum, which can be used as a raw material for further xanthan gum production or as a functional ingredient in various applications.
The spray drying process can be optimized to control the particle size and morphology of the resulting powder, which can influence the powder's functional properties, such as viscosity, flowability, and hydration rate. Overall, spray drying of xanthan mash is a promising method for the production of xanthan gum powder with improved efficiency and sustainability.
