Optimization of the inlet temperature during spray drying increases the productivity and quality of kefir powder
This study aimed to optimize the inlet temperature for the spray drying process to increase productivity, improve physicochemical quality, and maintain the viability of microorganisms in the kefir products. Kefir was powdered using a laboratory-scale spray dryer at inlet temperatures of 120 °C, 140 °C, 160 °C, and 180...
