Functional Importance of Porosity in Food Powders
Article updated February 2026 Porosity controls hydration speed, dissolution, compressibility, and storage stability in food powders because it sets how easily water and gases access the particle interior. Define a target porosity window for the product intent, for example, instant rehydration in spray-dried powders versus shelf stability in denser milled powders, then [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
