Application > Foods

The food industry is one of the most classic examples of the application of drying, granulation, coating and microencapsulation application using spray dryers and fluidized beds. These forms in powders or granules are widely desired in the food industry due to their low humidity, which promotes greater physical-chemical and microbiological stability to products, as moisture removal is one of the most classic food preservation methods.

Thus, the manufacture of dried, microencapsulated, granulated or coated natural or synthetic products by spray drying processes or fluidized beds, can generate a variety of special applications for aromatizers, flavorings, dyes, preservatives, antioxidants and even substances with beneficial activities to health, bringing new nuances such as greater stability to light, oxidation, and humidity among others, masking flavors and odors, pH dependent or slow releases, and even improves properties such as appearance and flow.

Some examples of products that already carry with them the productive technologies involving spray dryers and fluidized beds are:

• Aromas, Cereals, Extracts, Coffee (black, green, matte) and natural/synthetic dyes;
• Protein hydrolysates;
• Powdered vegetables (such as carrots, beets, spinach, artichokes, beans and others for making soups, for example);
• Products derived from corn and cassava, starch, maltodextrins;
• Soy-derived products, such as whole soy milk, soluble extract, isolated soy protein;
• Dairy products and dairy products;
• Brewer's yeast, cane, etc.;
• Powdered fat;
• Powdered egg, whole eggs, egg yolk and white.
