EVAPORATING AND SPRAY DRYING OF A SUCROSE SOLUTION

摘要

An aqueous sucrose solution is evaporated continuously while being subject to vigorous mechanical agitation to produce a sucrose suspension which is spray dried immediately, after which the spray dried product is post-crystallized and post-dried. A complete recovery is obtained of the sucrose present in the solution, in a process which is simple and economical since injection of sucrose crystals in the drying gas in the spray drier is omitted.
