![]() ![]() In general conversation, aerosol often refers to a dispensing system that delivers a consumer product from a can.ĭiseases can spread by means of small droplets in the breath, sometimes called bioaerosols. The liquid or solid particles in an aerosol have diameters typically less than 1 μm (larger particles with a significant settling speed make the mixture a suspension, but the distinction is not clear-cut). When a person inhales the contents of a vape pen or e-cigarette, they are inhaling an anthropogenic aerosol. Examples of anthropogenic aerosols include particulate air pollutants, mist from the discharge at hydroelectric dams, irrigation mist, perfume from atomizers, smoke, dust, steam from a kettle, sprayed pesticides, and medical treatments for respiratory illnesses. Examples of natural aerosols are fog or mist, dust, forest exudates, and geyser steam. Aerosols can be natural or anthropogenic. Mist and fog are aerosolsĪn aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. Numerical optimisation determined the optimal spray drying process (inlet temperature: 221 ☌, outlet temperature: 81 ☌ and atomisation pressure: 6 bar) in order to produce ‘ready-to-compress’ powder mixtures.Not to be confused with aerosil. Median particle size increased with a higher inlet temperature, while the outlet temperature had the opposite affect. However, a higher inlet drying air temperature had a negative influence on density and moisture content, while the latter decreased at higher outlet drying air temperatures. An increasing inlet and outlet drying air temperature improved process yield. Significant and adequate regression models were developed for powder flowability, median particle size, bulk density, residual moisture content and process yield. Experimental design was applied to evaluate processibility, physico-chemical properties and compactability of the spray dried powder mixtures. A feed suspension having a solid content of 27.2% w/w was selected for further process optimisation because of its high process yield, excellent flowability and short tablet disintegration time. ![]() Powder mixtures containing acetaminophen, mannitol, erythritol, maltodextrin, crospovidone, colloidal silicon dioxide and polyoxyethylene 20 sorbitan monooleate were prepared via co-spray drying. Manufacturing of ‘ready-to-compress’ powder mixtures for direct compression was performed by spray drying, without granulation, milling and/or blending steps in between spray drying and compaction. These advances will contribute to further research improvement of drying of fruit and vegetable juices by conventional approaches as well as modified spray drying techniques. ![]() The application of ultrasound technique during atomization, vacuum drying chamber with controlled atmosphere, and supply of dehumidified air to drying chamber of basic spray dryer have distinctly improved the potential of the technology over conventional spray drying. Response surface methodology is the most suitable tool for optimization of spray drying conditions. Successful spray drying enhances physical properties of powdered products, while preserving bioactive compounds with the help of carrier agents or their combinations. Key findings and conclusions The most significant factors in spray drying are inlet temperature and carrier agent. These techniques are posted to set new standards for the production of high quality fruit and vegetable powders in industrial application. Several new techniques have been introduced into spray drying, helping to overcome its limitations. Scope and approach This review summarizes current trends of spray drying of fruit and vegetable juices, covering principles of spray drying, physicochemical and microstructural effects of spray drying conditions, optimization of spray drying conditions and new developments in spray drying. High drying temperature damages sensitive bioactive compounds, carrier agent protects such compounds and other factors involved in spray drying affect physicochemical and microstructural attributes of the product. The major concern is to obtain high quality fruit and vegetable powders, which requires optimization of spray drying conditions. Background Spray drying is extensively used to preserve fruit and vegetable juices in powder form. ![]()
