Spray Drying of Vitamins
Spray drying is a popular method for producing dry powders of vitamins, which are commonly used in food, beverage, and dietary supplement formulations. The process involves atomizing a liquid vitamin solution or suspension into a spray of fine droplets, which are then dried by hot air.
Spray drying of vitamins offers several advantages, including improved shelf life, increased stability, and enhanced bioavailability. The resulting powder is also easier to handle and transport compared to the liquid form.
The quality of the vitamin powder produced by spray drying can be optimized by adjusting the process parameters, such as the inlet temperature, feed rate, and drying air flow rate. This allows for the production of vitamin powders with different particle sizes, densities, and moisture contents.
Overall, spray drying is a cost-effective and efficient method for producing high-quality vitamin powders that can be used in various applications, including fortification of foods and beverages, dietary supplements, and pharmaceuticals.
