Read Abstract

Spray drying is increasingly gaining attraction in the food industry, demonstrating a growing prevalence in the fabrication of not only a vast spectrum of elements, but also functional foods, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals, amongst various drying methods by providing microbiological stability and preventing chemical and biological deterioration. It also minimizes storage needs and shipping costs and leads to the creation of a product with unique features like quick solubility along color enhancing or concealing an astringent taste in food items as its one of the finest and most potent strategies to enhance the durability and sensory qualities of products is the spray-drying of liquid extracts. Its popularity in the industry stems from its efficiency in drying even the most challenging substances. The preference for spray drying encapsulation often stems from its economic efficiency relative to alternate encapsulation techniques. The resulting powder is extremely stable and immune to chemical and microbiological alterations (such as oxidation and hydrolytic reactions) due to its low moisture content and low water activity.
