Numerical estimation of moisture content in spray dried juice powder
Aliyu Bello, A1, Arshad Ahmad2, Adnan Ripin3, Oladokun, Olagoke4.
The moisture contents of powders is an important parameter that affects the quality and
commercial value of spray dried products. The utility of predicted moisture content values
from two droplet drying models were compared with experimental data for spray dried
pineapple juice, using the Ranz-Marshal and its modified variants for the heat and mass
transfer correlations. The droplet Diffusion model, using the Zhifu correlation, gave estimates
with errors of about 8% at 165 oC, 9% at 171 oC, 26% at 179 oC and 2% at 185 oC. The RanzMarshal
correlation also gave comparable results with this model while results using the
Downing and modified Ranz-Marshall correlations widely diverged. The Energy balance
model predicted completely dried juice particles, and short drying times, in contrast to the
experimental data. The small error sizes of the Diffusion model improves on the wide error
sizes of an earlier process model, making is useful as a first approximation choice, for spray
drier design and simulation, especially for juices under comparable operating conditions.
