ABSTRACT
A simplified method to study rehydration of dairy powders was developed for native phosphocaseinate powder. The method involved dispersing powder in a stirred vessel equipped with a turbidity sensor under standardized conditions. The changes of turbidity occurring during powder rehydration highlighted several stages. These stages include particles wetting, and then swelling as the water penetrates into the powder bed, followed by a slow dispersion of the particles. With this tool, some technological effects on powder rehydration were analyzed. Ultrafiltrate incorporation to the casein concentrate before spray drying was found to greatly improve the rehydration, whereas mixing ultrafiltrate powder with casein powder after spray drying did not change the rehydration properties. The effect of granulation on powder rehydration stages was also investigated.
