Solid-state characteristics and redispersible properties of powders formed by spray-drying and freeze-drying cereal dispersions of varying (1→3,1→4)--glucan content

Abstract
Cereal powders containing 33, 18 and 4% (w/w) (1→3,1→4)--glucan, prepared from cereal suspensions, had distinct differences in surface morphology as observed by scanning electron microscopy, depending both on the drying process (spray- or freeze-drying) and the dietary fibre level. Freeze-drying produced powders with a ‘flake-like’ matrix, without particle formation and similar matrix morphology independent of the (1→3,1→4)--glucan content, in contrast to spray-drying, which gave powders with morphologies that were (1→3,1→4)--glucan-dependent and consisted of aggregated particles and microspheres. Choosing the concentration of (1→3,1→4)--glucans permits control of the particle size and particle size distribution of the spray-dried cereal... (More)

Choosing the concentration of (1→3,1→4)--glucans permits control of the particle size and particle size distribution of the spray-dried cereal powders. pH-dependent zeta () potential measurements of re-dissolved powders indicated that the isoelectric point was in the pH range of 3.8–4.8 and that it increased at higher pH as the (1→3,1→4)--glucan content of the powders was decreased from 33 to 4% (w/w). The absolute value of the zeta () potential fell with increasing pH and was largest for the powder dispersion with the lower (1→3,1→4)--glucan content, leading to the greatest dispersion stability. The importance of particle size, net surface charge and (1→3,1→4)--glucan and protein content in controlling the surface activity at the air–water interface of cereal powder dispersions is also discussed.
