To improve the quality of the lactic acid whey powder
ð Modify the calcium lactate supersaturationà(pH; Phosphate; Citrate; TS; Temperature)
ð Modify the spray drying parameters à(æ [C] flow rate, inlet and outlet air θ, outlet air AH)
Origin of thickening is due to the formation of calcium lactate crystals
Concentrated lactic acid wheys are likely to thicken because of:
Origin of stickiness during spray drying is due to the low Tg value of lactic acid (- 60°C)
