Effect of Fluidized Bed Agglomeration on Rheological and Physical Properties of Soy Protein-Enriched Milk Powder for Dietary Supplementation in Sarcopenia

“…The CI and HR levels of the ISP-enriched SMP changed to good flowability and low cohesiveness after FBA. In general, larger particles have a smaller surface area than smaller particles, which can reduce the frictional force generated between powder particles ( Park and Yoo, 2020 ; Seo, 2022a ). Therefore, FBA can improve the flowability and cohesiveness of ISP-enriched SMP particles by increasing the particle size.…”

“…The particle size distributions were analyzed using a Mastersizer 3000 (Malvern Instruments Ltd., Worcestershire, UK) according to the method described by Seo (2022a) . The surface-weighted mean diameter (D[3,2]) and span (dispersion index) were measured to evaluate the particle size and distribution of the ISP-enriched SMP particles.…”

“…Wetting time (t w ), defined as the time required to fully wet and immerse in water, was determined using the method described by Seo (2022a) . The ISP-enriched SMP samples (5 g) were added to distilled water (100 mL) at 24±1°C.…”
