Abstract
India has become world leader in milk production. There is no
doubt about the efforts of Indian dairy farmers who led this
extravagant achievement. Milk production in the country is expected
to increase at a rate of 4% and it will reach to 127.29 MT. For
preparing delicious sweets & preservation of nutritious milk solids,
various products from surplus milk are manufactured.
Drying of milk and milk products is considered to be the best
way to preserve the milk solids. It reduces water activity and thus
slows down the deterioration in quality and it is the most common
technique in the world of dairy and food industries. In the present
project fluidized bed drying process was selected because of several
advantages like ease of use, high energy efficiency, very good drying
rate and lower capital and maintenance cost over many other drying
techniques.
