Spray Drying is a one-step process established processing technology for products widely used in infant formulations, powdered sweets and cocoa soluble in milk for children or food supplements rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals for adults, fats and oils, and flavorings and colorings in a spray-dried form. The technology is favorable because it is inexpensive, efficient and can be used in continuous operation and produces particles of good quality.

Spray-drying optimizes dissolution rates and improves the bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds.
