Funded Activity Summary

Engineering improved fat encapsulation for food powders. Encapsulation of fats and oils into powders has wide applications in the food industry, with products including creamers, soups, infant formula, and nutraceutical powders. Spray drying of liquid emulsions into powders is an integral part to manufacture high value products by extending their shelf life, nutritional content, and functionality. This project will generate new protocols for the production of high-fat powders, with direct commercial benefits in improved production efficiency and new product development from recovered ingredients. The knowledge will benefit the manufacturing of food powders in Australia, currently valued around $600M AUD pa, and will potentially expand the variety of product offering for the export market.
