Spray drying is widely used to manufacture many powdered products, with the
drying process parameters having significant influence over the final powder’s surface
properties and propensity for unwanted caking. In most cases caking experiments are
performed on bulk powders, but especially in multi-component powders, it is often
difficult to interpret these results, where interaction effects between particles can be
complex. Here we use the technique of scanning probe microscopy to characterise the
nanoscale properties of spray dried model milk powders in order to investigate the surface
properties of the powders.
