Spray drying is a food processing technique used to reduce the moisture content of food products. It involves atomizing a liquid or slurry into a hot gas stream, which evaporates the liquid and leaves behind a dry powder. This process is used to produce a wide variety of food products, including milk powder, coffee, tea, spices, and flavorings. It is also used to produce food ingredients such as proteins, starches, and emulsifiers. Spray drying is a cost-effective and efficient method of preserving food products, as it reduces the risk of spoilage and contamination.
The spray drying market is driven by the increasing demand for convenience foods and the need for efficient food processing techniques. The market is also driven by the growing demand for high-quality food products and the need for improved shelf life.
