Research impacts

Dry powders are very popular in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Long half-shelf life, high resistance to bacterial degradation, small storage spaces, low transportation costs, and potentiality of applicability to different uses are the causes of the popularity of dry powders. One of the most common techniques used for the production of dry powders is spray drying; this technique allows for control over the properties of dry powders. This would lead to the encapsulation of different types of bioactive compounds. Encapsulation can be beneficial for target delivery and release, homogeneity in the product, preservation, and additional properties, such as antimicrobial activity.
