Modern Spray Drying: Methods and Limitations
Spray drying technology transforms liquids into powders with high precision and control. Emerging methods like pulse combustion, electrostatic, and nano spray drying improve energy efficiency and product performance, but most remain limited by scale. Despite this, spray drying remains essential in pharmaceuticals, food, and energy industries due to its versatility, stability, and ability [...]
Global Regulations for Powder Handling: What You Need to Know
Regulatory compliance in powder handling is not just a requirement—it’s a strategic advantage. Whether you're navigating REACH, OSHA, or industry-specific rules, staying ahead means embedding compliance into your process, documenting it with traceable data, and treating regulation as part of your design, not an afterthought. Table [...]
Functional Importance of Porosity in Food Powders
Porosity significantly influences the functional characteristics of food powders, affecting hydration, solubility, compressibility, and shelf life. By precisely controlling porosity, manufacturers can optimize product performance, whether achieving quick rehydration in spray-dried milk powder or enhancing shelf stability in roller-milled wheat flour. Understanding and manipulating porosity is crucial for maintaining quality in food processing [...]
Measuring Hygroscopicity in Food Powders: Why It Matters More Than You Think
Check out these related articles: https://powdertechnology.info/moisture-content-analysis-in-powder-samples/ Hygroscopicity — a powder’s tendency to absorb moisture — directly impacts shelf life, flowability, and product quality. Measuring it through sorption isotherms or DVS helps food manufacturers prevent caking, preserve texture, and design smarter packaging. Ignoring it risks product failure. [...]
From Cocoa to Coffee: How Powder Science Shapes Your Holiday Beverages
The holiday season brings the warmth of familiar traditions; among them, nothing feels quite as comforting as a steaming mug of hot cocoa or the invigorating aroma of coffee. While these beloved beverages feel timeless, their creation owes much to modern powder science. From the smooth dissolve of cocoa in milk to the [...]
