  • Industrial spice milling and blending line with airborne powder and spice bowls, showing how hidden additives in food supply chains can enter during upstream processing.

    The Hidden Additives in Food Supply Chains Consumers Never See

    Hidden additives in food supply chains often enter as processing aids at spice mills and then carry over into blends without being disclosed on the label under compound ingredient rules. Hidden additives usually come from upstream milling aids, not the final blender, so labels can stay generic while additives still carry over. [...]

  • Hand scooping infant formula powders into a baby bottle on a wooden board.

    The complexities of infant formula powders

    Infant formula powders are far more demanding than simple food powders. Safe infant formula powders depend on tight control of formulation, spray drying, agglomeration, emulsion stability, and packaging, so fragile nutrients stay stable and absorbable from production line to feeding bottle. Table of contents Infant [...]

  • Powder wettability in food and feed shown by food powder dispersing in water

    Inside Perspective of Powder Wettability in the Food and Feed Industries

    Powder wettability in food and feed determines how fast powders sink, hydrate, and disperse. By controlling surface fat, agglomeration, and surfactants, processors reduce clumping, energy use, and fines while improving product quality, pellet strength, and line efficiency. Table of contents Water is the most essential [...]

  • Photorealistic image of industrial spray drying equipment with powder being collected in a stainless steel container

    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 powder handling regulations

    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 [...]
