Spray drying skim milk, concentrated milk, full cream milk

Spray dryers are used to transform a liquid, i.e. solutions, suspensions or emulsions into dried powders; for example in industrial chemistryy and in the phaarmaceutical, biotechnology and food industry. it is a quick, gentle and single step drying process. A major applicatioon is the production of milk powder. In general, liquid milk is easily denaturized and difficult to store for a long time. To prolong its shelf life and to simplify transportation milk is spray dried to milk powder. In this work, a BUCHI Mini Spray Dryer B-290 in employed to investigate the effects of drying temperature on the yield and sample throughput of different milk products processed to milk powder.
