3.1 Proximate composition Proximate composition of agglomerated goat milk powder is presented in Table 2. According to data, there was not much variation in proximate composition between spray dried and agglomerated goat milk powder.
3.2 Effect of processing conditions on functional properties of agglomerated goat milk powder From Fig 1, it was revealed that the L* values of agglomerated goat milk powder greatly decreased with increasing binder concentration from 0.4 to 0.8% due to greater intensity of yellow colour. In present work, the L* value of spray dried goat milk powder was found to be 88.74 (Table 3). Fonseca et al. (2011) reported the mean L* values of spray dried goat milk powder (lecithin added prior …show more content…

The three dimensional plot on the effect of treatments on loose and tapped bulk densities of agglomerated goat milk powder are depicted in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, respectively. Generally, after agglomeration, increase in particle size of milk powder, which resulted in increased volume of powder and this caused the decrease in bulk density of powder. Turchiuli et al. (2011), reported the loose and tapped bulk densities of agglomerated skim milk powder as 220 and 250 kg.m-3, respectively when compared to loose and tapped bulk densities of non-agglomerated of skim milk powder of 500 and 590 kg.m-3, respectively. Gong et al. (2007) also reported the bulk densities of non-agglomerated and agglomerated of bayberry powder as 0.66 and 0.39 g.cc-1, …show more content…

4, it was observed that the solubility of agglomerated powder at 70 °C inlet air temperature of fluidized bed dryer was found to be less due to formation of hard surface particle and at all binder concentrations and remaining temperatures i.e. 50 °C and 60 °C, the solubility of agglomerated powder was more or less similar as presented in Table 4. Namhong (2009), reported the solubility of agglomerated goat milk powder as 98.02%. The wetting time decreased with the increase in binder concentration it might be due to the placing of lecithin on the surface of milk powder particles during the agglomeration process causing decreases in the level of free fat, whereas increased with increase in inlet air temperature as shown in Fig. 5. The wetting time of instant whole milk powder was 45 s (Zbikowska and Zbikowski 2006). Turchiuli et al. (2011) studied the wetting time of agglomerated skim milk powder and it was found to be 4 s, whereas the wetting time of non-agglomerated skim milk powder was more than 1 h. The dispersibility was greatly increased with increase in binder concentration
