Advanced equipment and services for processing powder flavours
Flavours are mostly used to alter or improve a natural product’s taste. Generally, there are three groups of flavours: natural, nature-identical and artificial substances. Most flavours are produced in powder form for easy storing, packaging and transportation.
Spray drying is a commonly used technique to produce powder flavours, which have a longer shelf life and are easier to handle.
In spray drying, the input is atomised into a stream of hot air. The atomised articles dry very rapidly, trapping volatile flavour constituents inside the droplets. The powder is recovered via cyclone collectors.
In freeze-drying, the desired end product is loaded onto trays in a frozen state and placed in the freeze drying chamber.
Advantages of spray drying ingredients
- Superior dissolving in both hot and cold liquids
- Improved heat and oxidative resistance
- Ease of handling for reduced contamination risk
- Creates a high-impact flavour with a controlled flavour response
- Controlled particle size
- Cost-effective
- Low moisture content reduces the risk of clumping
