Powdered Drink Moisture

Revolutionize Your Process

Incorporating moisture control in the production of powdered drinks is a vital quality control step. Maintaining low moisture content allows for optimal packaging, extending shelf life and preserving product quality. With the right low moisture content, powdered drinks can maintain their nutritive value even after years of room-temperature storage. This is especially critical for drinks like protein shakes, dietary beverages, and flavored drink mixes.

Optimal Moisture Levels:

The typical target moisture content for powdered drinks falls within the range of 0.30% to 4.0%. Spray drying is the primary method used to achieve the desired moisture content in the industry. It involves atomizing the feed, facilitating spray-air contact, drying, and separating the dried product from the drying air.
