Process and product stability by knowing the material (German article)
The influence of glass transition of amorphous food powders during fluid bed agglomeration.
Pulverized extracts from fruit and vegetables, plants or probiotics change their physical chemical properties depending on the ambient conditions. Based on material knowledge, precise settings can be selected in fluid bed processes to define particle properties and avoid production losses. (Article in German language)
