A new type of spray dryer was developed for drying milk and the like efficiently. To this end, freely rotatable propellers powered with air-flow were placed in the drying chamber to increase thermal efficiency and the product yield in the newly developed spray dryer (DSD). Milk samples were dried in both the developed system and a standard spray dryer (SSD) to compare thermal efficiencies and product yields of each. It was observed that the propellers placed in the drying chamber of the developed spray dryer (DSD) had caused a change in the flow direction of the drying air, decreased the temperature of the drying walls, and increased the thermal efficiency and product yield in drying. Consequently, in the developed dryer, the adhesion of the powder particles to the drying wall and to each other is significantly reduced, resulting in a more efficient drying.

Airflow stability plays a vital role in optimizing the spray dryer operation; wherein the airflow patterns present inside the drying chamber are considered as the primary factors that influences the histories of the product particle. In this paper, the optimum drying parameters that would produce a higher yield of powdered egg while retaining its quality parameter such as moisture content and water activity were determined by means of Euler-Lagrange Discrete Phase Modeling (DPM) numerical method present in the ANSYS-Fluent ver. 14.5 CFD solver. During the computational simulation, the flow pattern of the air was first identified using the Eulerian method then the results were coupled using the Lagrangian-Discrete Phase Modeling to track the particle histories of the disperse phase inside the tall-form spray drying chamber. Results showed that the optimum inlet air velocity and temperature are 8.87 m/s and 444 K respectively. At these conditions, the particle trajectories simulated exhibited that the calculated final moisture content and water activity for the dried egg powder are 1.09 % and 0.012, respectively.

In this work, the formulations prepared with buriti pulp and different maltodextrin concentrations (5, 10 and 15%) were dried in spray dryer and the chemical, physical and physical-chemical characteristics of the formulations and powder samples were evaluated. In this drying process two kinds of powder samples were collected: one into drying chamber and another in the cyclone. Using a factorial experimental planning, the experiments were conducted, in order to assess the moisture and ash contents, total acidity and density of both samples. The formulations dried in the spray dryer presented be feasible for the production of buriti pulp powder; however, powder samples collected into drying chamber and cyclone were different. Among the parameters analysed, it was found that only for density the samples collected into drying chamber, that the first-order empirical model obtained was statistically significant and predictive.

The paper presents the theory of calculating heat loss through the fences of timber drying chambers. The software for computer modeling of the process of transferring heat energy through the fences of the drying chamber, consisting of various heat-insulating materials, for calculating heat losses during drying of sawn timber is described. The efficiency of the use of modern heat-insulating materials to reduce heat losses during drying of sawn timber has been experimentally confirmed.

Abstract Fish oil was encapsulated with whey protein isolate (WPI) as wall material using a Micro-Fluidic Jet Spray Dryer. The effects of core/wall material ratio, drying temperature and total solids content on the properties of microcapsules were studied. Low core/wall material ratios at 1:5 and 1:3 resulted in high encapsulation efficiency (EE) and excellent oxidative stability of microparticles during storage. Reducing the inlet temperature from 160 to 110 °C remarkably decreased EE from around 99 to 64.8%, associated with substantial increases in peroxide value during storage. The total solids content mainly altered the morphology of microcapsules, showing little influence on EE and oxidative stability. We proposed that the different drying conditions impacted on particle formation behavior during spray drying, which could be a crucial factor responsible for the differences in the quality attributes of microparticles. A low core/wall material ratio and high drying temperature facilitated the formation of a rigid protein skin at droplet surface during drying, whereas a high solids fraction in the droplets could limit possible droplet shrinkage. These factors contributed positively to the encapsulation of the lipophilic core material.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the bioactivity of microencapsulated extract from the soursop seeds, Annona muricata L. ( Annonaceae ), on diamondback moth, Plutella xylostela L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae ). Microencapsulation was performed in a Mini Spray Dryer model B-290 using 50mL of ethanolic and hexanic extracts plus 150mL of ethanol and 150mL of ultrapure water, mixed with aerosil (first polymer) or arabic gum (second polymer). It was possible to microencapsulate the ethanolic extract of soursop seeds only by using the polymer arabic gum at 20%. The microencapsulated extract caused significant acute toxicity (LC50=258mg L-1) and chronic effects, especially reduction of larval viability and increased larval stage. We concluded that the microencapsulation of the ethanolic extract of soursop seeds can be a viable alternative for controlling diamondback moth with possible gains for the environment.
