manufacture of instant coffee powders. Two processes have been studied in
depth: spray drying and spray freeze drying. Spray freeze drying consisted of a
combined spraying and freezing operation, followed by sublimation in a fluidised
bed under partial vacuum. The aroma quality was measured using headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) technique followed by gas
chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Experiments were
also performed with maltodextrin as the encapsulating matrix for comparison. [Continues.]
