Predicting collision outcomes of partially-dried droplets in spray drying

Evaporating solute-containing droplets tend to temporarily become sticky as they transition from wet droplets to dry particles. Stickiness plays a crucial role in promoting beneficial powder properties through agglomeration but also in potential fouling of drying equipment. Spray drying, a processing technology turning a swarm of droplets into...

Development of nano-encapsulation systems for the food antifungal natamycin: Formulation, characterization and post-processing

Food spoilage has become in the last decades one of the biggest challenges faced by the food industry, with a significant amount of products thrown away at every step of the supply chain. Microbial contamination is listed as one of the major causes of food spoilage and can be at a large extent prevented by application of antimicrobial compounds....
