 Spray Drying Performance of a Laboratory
Spray Dryer for ,Tomato Powder Preparation

Atbaoasia M. Goula and Konstantinos G. Adamopoulos.

ABSTRACT

This work investigates the performance of a spray dryer for tomato

powder preparation by spray drying of tomato pulp. Samples of
tomato pulp with a 140;. constant total solids concentration were
used, and a pilot scale spray dryer (Buchi, B-191) with cocurrent
operation and a two-fluid nozzle atomizer was employed for the
spray drying process. Twenty-four different experiments were con-
ducted keeping constant the feed rate, the feed temperature, and the
atomizer pressure, and varying the compressed air flow rate, the flow
