spray-dried

Hot-air dried droplets

Spray-dried describes a substance that has been converted from liquid to powder by spraying it into hot air, which rapidly evaporates the moisture.

The process preserves flavor and nutrients while creating shelf-stable products: spray-dried milk, spray-dried coffee.

Common in food manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.
