The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of inlet air temperature of spray drying and different combinations of carrier agents (maltodextrin (MD), gum Arabic (GA), modified starch (MS), and whey protein concentrate (WPC)) on the physicochemical characteristics of spray-dried whey powder, enriched with vitamin D-3 to improve its usage as a functional ingredient. Firstly, vitamin D-3 was nanoencapsulated by nanoliposome prepared with egg yolk lecithin, sesame oil, and glycerol through thin-film dispersion method. The mean particle size of prepared nanoliposomes was 140?nm. Then, the prepared nanocarriers loaded with vitamin D-3 were added into the feed solution and dried through spray dryer. The effect of carrier agent types and inlet air temperature on the physicochemical (moisture content, solubility, porosity, color, and powder yield) and microstructure properties of obtained spray-dried powders were investigated. The optimal carrier agents and condition of spray drying were selected by Taguchi design. Our results showed that the inlet air temperature and carrier agent had significant effects on the characterization of powders. Powders produced by 2% WPC, 3% MS, and 25% MD at 170??C inlet air temperature showed the highest powder yield (96.4%). Also, the morphology of powders was affected by carrier agent types; increase in MD concentration in feed solution causes to create smoother and spherical spray-dried powder particles.
