Spray Drying of Isopectin acid
Isopectin is a type of starch that is widely used in the food industry due to its unique properties, such as high viscosity, stability, and clarity. Isopectin can be converted into isopectin acid, which is used in various applications, such as a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, and gelling agent. Spray drying is a popular method for converting isopectin acid into a dry powder form, which is easier to handle and store. The process involves atomizing a solution of isopectin acid into a hot stream of air, which rapidly evaporates the solvent, leaving behind a dry powder. The powder form of isopectin acid provides improved solubility, dispersibility, and stability compared to the liquid form. The spray-dried isopectin acid can be used in various food products, including dairy, bakery, confectionery, and beverages. It is also used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications due to its thickening and stabilizing properties.
