Fluidized beds have been used as equipment for promoting agglomeration in industrial
processes. In general, particle enlargement is desirable because it improves the properties …

The green banana flour (GBF) from Musa cavendischii, variety “Nanicão”, can be used as a
functional ingredient due its high content of resistant starch (RS 2), in view of postprandial …

Pulsed flow fluidisation involves the use of either a relocating or intermittent gas stream
flowing through a bed of particles, and produces a range of fluidisation effects dependent on …

The research objective was to experimentally optimize the fluidized bed agglomeration
process of an agglomerated blackberry powder mixture (ABPM) using the response surface …

In this study, wet agglomeration process was applied at selected conditions (at 60° C air

The pea protein isolate (PPI) is characterized as a cohesive powder with crack and
channeling formation during its fluidization. This work aimed to evaluate the fluid dynamic …

The pea protein isolate (PPI) is characterized as a cohesive powder, presenting channeling
formation during its fluidization (Geldart type A) and reduced dispersion in water. This work …

Fluid bed agglomeration is commonly used to improve the instant properties and flowability
of cohesive food powders. However, fluidization of cohesive particles is characterized by …
