Spray Drying of Spruce bark extract
Application Note Mini Spray Dryer B-290 Spruce bark extract
Spray drying has been used to produce a powdered form of spruce bark extract, which can be used as a functional food ingredient or nutraceutical. Spruce bark extract contains high levels of bioactive compounds, such as phenolic acids and flavonoids, which have been shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. The spray drying process involves atomizing a liquid solution of the extract into a hot drying gas, which rapidly evaporates the liquid, leaving behind a dry powder. The conditions of the spray drying process can be optimized to produce a powder with desirable characteristics, such as particle size, density, and solubility. The resulting powder can be used in various applications, such as food and beverage products, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. The spray drying of spruce bark extract has shown potential for improving the stability, bioavailability, and functionality of this natural product.
