Safe and Efficient Granulation Methods for Heat-Sensitive Food Additives
2026-06-04
1. Industry Challenges
Heat-sensitive food additives such as vitamins, enzyme powders, and flavorings are prone to degradation or evaporation during processing. Traditional wet granulation or high-temperature methods may reduce active components, affecting functionality and flavor.
2. Dry Granulation Technology Principle
Roller Compactor dry granulation mechanically compresses powder into high-density sheets, then cuts them into uniform granules. No water or high-temperature treatment is required, preserving heat-sensitive components. Adjustable roller gaps and hydraulic systems allow precise control of granule density and hardness.
Dry granulation is suitable for nutritional powders, functional beverage premixes, and flavor blends. Optimized granules improve solubility, uniformity, and downstream processing performance, enabling efficient and stable production lines.
5. Conclusion
For food manufacturers, using dry granulation for heat-sensitive additives ensures activity and flavor preservation while increasing production efficiency—a key technique for achieving high-quality, controllable processing in the food industry
