“…According to the process conditions and bulk physicochemical properties, the stress induced by spray drying may result in a wide range of particle structures such as puffed, hollow, fully filled or buckled particles (Eslamian & Ashgriz, 2006;Vehring, Foss, & Lechuga-Ballesteros, 2007;Walton & Mumford, 1999;Werner, Edmonds, Jones, Bronlund, & Paterson, 2008). The final morphology influences some of the quality attributes of the particle (particle size, particle density, brittleness, dispersibility and moisture content) and governs its end use properties (Hassan & Mumford, 1996;Vehring et al, 2007). Understanding the process of droplet/dry particle transition and identifying the key factors governing the final particle features are essential for achieving optimal properties.…”
