Spray Drying of Valerian extract
Application Note Mini Spray Dryer B-290 Valerian extract
Valerian extract is a popular herbal supplement that is commonly used to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. Spray drying is a widely used method for converting liquid extracts into dry powders that can be easily stored and transported. The process involves atomizing the extract into small droplets, which are then dried by hot air. The resulting powder is typically free-flowing and has a longer shelf life compared to the liquid extract.
Spray drying of Valerian extract has been shown to preserve the bioactive compounds and maintain their potency. The process parameters such as inlet temperature, feed flow rate, and atomization pressure can be optimized to achieve the desired powder characteristics such as particle size and moisture content.
Overall, spray drying is a cost-effective and efficient method for producing high-quality Valerian extract powders that can be used in a variety of formulations including capsules, tablets, and beverages.
