Reconstitution of powdered nutritional products into ready-to-use drinks for consumption seems so obvious that we may not be aware of the know-how behind the manufacture of these products … Who has not observed problems of undissolved matter, foam, deposit, or even unpleasant taste or smell when preparing a drink from a powdered product?

Powdered nutritional products contain many nutrients such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and specific molecules for targeted nutritional purposes. The functional properties of powders are numerous (solubility, dissolution, dispersibility, wettability, homogeneity, etc.) and results from both the composition and nature of the ingredients used as well as the manufacturing process and the control of the manufacturing parameters.

To get good results, molecular biochemical knowledge of the products should be combined with a deep understanding of the manufacturing technologies used.

A scientific approach that combines both the intrinsic characteristics of the components of the formula (quality, type, and origin) and the process parameters of the transformation steps (mixing, heat treatment, evaporation, drying, liquid, and powder transportation…) is the guarantee of a control of the final powder quality and preservation of the nutritional properties as well as guaranteeing a stable and homogeneous product during consumption.

A strict control of the reactions related to the evaporation of water during powder manufacture is required which strongly impacts the incorporation of water during the reconstitution of the product.

NutriXperts has the knowledge to lead you in the implementation of this scientific approach. The application work is carried out on site in your manufacturing facilities together with your engineering teams and your production and R&D teams, if desired. Normally there are two main success factors: the improvement of product quality and productivity gains associated with the optimization of the manufacturing process, but specific success factors like better flowability can also be prioritized.
