GEA Process Engineering (India) Private Limited supplies Niro dryers which are designed to fulfill stringent quality requirements demanded by the food industry.
When working with products made from natural ingredients, it is desirable to retain the natural properties and qualities in the final powder form. This is possible for some products, while others involve a recipe containing additional carriers, antioxidants, pH-stabilizers and so forth.
Reconstituted powder can only contain a maximum of 3% additives, such as sucrose on a solid base, to be called juice. Real juice powder maintains a high concentration of natural fibres in the juice. Few juices have this ability, and these are produced using the FILTERMAT®dryer.
Several juices have been dried to powder as a flavour product where the concentrated juices or single strength juices are mixed into a flavour base made from maltodextrin, sugar and gum arabic etc. The reconstituted powders with this recipe are not real 'juices'. These powders can often be dried on conventional Spray Dryers, Multistage Dryers, or the FILTERMAT®.
