Spray Dryer for Fruit Juice

Spray dryer for fruit juice is a modern technology that by drying the liquid fruit juices, and turning them into powder form, still retains the nutrients, flavor, and aroma of the fruits. This method involves spraying the juice into very fine droplets and then blowing over it hot air that will cause most of the moisture to evaporate, leaving behind a fine powder.

Spray drying is one of the most efficient methods to store fruit juice and offer it in the market by reducing its storage and transportation cost. The product obtained is light in weight, easy to reconstitute and has nutritional value similar to that of the juice input. Then it is widely used in food processing industries for preparation of instant beverages, nutrient supplements and other health foods.

Spray dryer has a lot of advantages such as; suitability for drying fruit juices due to its efficiency of preserving vitamins, minerals and other bioactive components in the products. The high temperature in the process is regulated in order not to denature heat-sensitive nutrients such as vitamin C, which is present in many fruit juices along with vitamin A. This technology is very effective for fruits that have a high sugar content like orange, apple or pineapple juice because it reduces on stickiness during the drying process.

Spray drying does not only provide nutritional values to the processed fruits but also assist the fruit juice manufacturers to cut on the costs. The liquid juices are relatively large and have a short shelf life which means that they occupy a large amount of space especially for storage and for refrigeration. When juice is processed into powder, the load is compact hence the ease and cost effectiveness in transporting large quantities. The powdered form also did not require preservatives because most of the moisture that is likely to cause bacterial growth is likely to have been removed through the drying process.

From the consumer’s point of view, spray dryer for fruit juice has the quality of easy to use and can add to many recipes. Finally, it can be elaborated in an instant drink by adding water or other liquids or as an ingredient in recipes such as a smoothie, dessert or sauce. It can also be added to food supplements, thus deriving its nutrients and antioxidant value in a compact form.

The spray dryer for fruit juice is a very helpful application in both the production and the consumption side since the spray dryer for fruit juice has long shelf life and can reduce production cost, at the same time, can maintain good qualities of nutrition and convenience form.
