Features and Benefits
  • The low viscosity of N-LOK® food blend makes it suitable for the preparation of high solids flavor emulsions for spray-drying.
  • The product displays excellent emulsion stabilizing properties and film forming abilities. Therefore, losses during spray-drying are minimized using N-LOK® food blend as the encapsulating agent.
  • Spray-dried powders are very stable over time. Loss of volatile components is minimized and the active ingredients are protected against oxidation.
  • Dispersions of N-LOK® food blend can be readily prepared in cold water with good agitation. Because of its lower viscosity, this product requires 25% less water than gum arabic thus permitting higher spray-drying solids.
  • Spray-dried powders containing N-LOK® food blend readily reconstitute in cold water.

Microbiological Limits

Initial testing is done on a single composite sample against a limit of m. If result is above m, the three class sampling and acceptance below is used.

  n c m M
Total Plate Count/g 5 3 1,000 10,000
Yeast/g 5 3 200 1,000
Mold/g 5 3 200 1,000
