Breakthrough technologies for energy-efficient manufacture of dairy powders. The outcomes of this project will form a significant change for the dairy industry in Australia (as represented by Dairy Innovation Australia Ltd.). In particular, the enormous cost-saving and environmental benefits due to a more efficient drying process are attractive for the competitiveness of the industry internationally. The innovation gained is also applicable to food and pharmaceutical industries where spray dryin ....Breakthrough technologies for energy-efficient manufacture of dairy powders. The outcomes of this project will form a significant change for the dairy industry in Australia (as represented by Dairy Innovation Australia Ltd.). In particular, the enormous cost-saving and environmental benefits due to a more efficient drying process are attractive for the competitiveness of the industry internationally. The innovation gained is also applicable to food and pharmaceutical industries where spray drying and fluidised bed drying are integral parts of the manufacturing process. The project will train graduates to be able to make a high-level contribution to these industries.Read moreRead less
Towards New Functionality in Dairy Ingredients. The Australian dairy industry plays a significant part in the nation’s economy, with almost $3 billion in export revenue in 2016-2017. Powdered dairy products extend shelf life and ease of transport, with >20% annual growth in premium products, such as milk protein concentrates and infant formula powders. This project aims to support the development of value-added dairy powders by investigating the impact of a novel high pressure processing technol ....Towards New Functionality in Dairy Ingredients. The Australian dairy industry plays a significant part in the nation’s economy, with almost $3 billion in export revenue in 2016-2017. Powdered dairy products extend shelf life and ease of transport, with >20% annual growth in premium products, such as milk protein concentrates and infant formula powders. This project aims to support the development of value-added dairy powders by investigating the impact of a novel high pressure processing technology in enhancing the properties of dairy powders and/or introducing new functionality. Successful outcomes will help expand the offering of high value dairy ingredients and thus increase the global competitiveness of Australian dairy manufacturing.Read moreRead less
Predictive Tools for Effective Spray Drying of Heat Sensitive Dairy Powders. This project is a joint international effort between Monash University, the Institute of Dairy Ingredients Processing at South Dakota State University, and the Dairy Research Institute to address challenges in achieving optimum spray drying conditions for heat sensitive dairy powders, such as milk protein concentrates and whey powders. The new modelling tool aims to help in predicting effective spray drying conditions t ....Predictive Tools for Effective Spray Drying of Heat Sensitive Dairy Powders. This project is a joint international effort between Monash University, the Institute of Dairy Ingredients Processing at South Dakota State University, and the Dairy Research Institute to address challenges in achieving optimum spray drying conditions for heat sensitive dairy powders, such as milk protein concentrates and whey powders. The new modelling tool aims to help in predicting effective spray drying conditions to produce powders with improved solubility, emulsification, and heat stability properties. It is expected that the dairy industry will benefit from the use of this technology to deliver milk powders with improved quality, functionality, and shelf-life.Read moreRead less

Summary
Soft matter and responsive materials characterisation facility. The processing of minerals, foods and pharmaceutical materials underpins the delivery of these materials to the community. The industries associated with the named areas have cost-driven demands for higher throughput and constraints imposed by water and energy conservation requirements. Technological advances in the processing of soft matter and responsive materials therefore offer a gateway to revolutionary changes in many aspects ....Soft matter and responsive materials characterisation facility. The processing of minerals, foods and pharmaceutical materials underpins the delivery of these materials to the community. The industries associated with the named areas have cost-driven demands for higher throughput and constraints imposed by water and energy conservation requirements. Technological advances in the processing of soft matter and responsive materials therefore offer a gateway to revolutionary changes in many aspects of our everyday lives. The outcomes from research addressing these classes of advanced materials will translate into improvements in Australian industries and in training the next generation of world leading Australian scientists and engineers using state-of-the-art technology.Read moreRead less
