Einfluss der Partikelgröße und Partikelform auf das Fließverhalten von kommerziellen Magermilchpulvern

Because of the numerous application as food ingredient skim milk powder is of prime economically importance among milk powders in Germany. However, the ease of powder handling, which is determined by the flow properties, is often not regarded as a real quality attribute. To better understand the powder handling characteristic of skim milk powders this work deals with flowability measurement of commercial skim milk powders by using shear cell testing technique. Furthermore relationships between particle size, particle shape and flowability data are highlighted.
