Micro-sized particle production of Momordica Sp extract using spray dryer
Spray drying is the most widely used industrial process involving particle formation and drying. It is highly suited for the continuous production of dry solids in either powder, granulate or agglomerate form from liquid feed-stocks as solutions, emulsions and pump able suspensions. Therefore, sp...

| Summary: | Spray drying is the most widely used industrial process involving particle
formation and drying. It is highly suited for the continuous production of dry solids in
either powder, granulate or agglomerate form from liquid feed-stocks as solutions,
emulsions and pump able suspensions. Therefore, spray drying is an ideal process where
the end-product must comply with precise quality standards regarding particle size
distribution, residual moisture content, bulk density, and particle shape. In this study,
Momordica sp extract product has been successfully spray dried into micro scale of
powder particle and will be used as plant-based insulin. The process optimized using
Taguchi method with four factors and three levels has given a good quality of the
product. The average of particle size was obtained at about 11 microns. |
