Design of a Berry Spray Dryer: A Case Of Tomatoes and Tomatillos

Abstract: Berry spray dryers are designed for the purpose of drying heat sensitive agricultural products such as tomatoes and tomatillos in order to increase their shelf life and make them available year round. Manufacturers use to produce fruit juice powder. The physiochemical properties of powders produced by spray drying depend on the variables of the process and/or operating parameters. Post-harvest loss in tomatoes and tomatillos is a major problem in the market supply chain of small farm holders. 

 

Keywords:        Spray dryers, tomatoes powders, tomatillo powders, shelf- life.
