 Fluidized bed granulation is a promising technique for drying probiotics, such as Saccharomyces bilardii, which are essential for maintaining health. This technique allows for faster drying than lyophilization while keeping the probiotic alive. Additionally, it uses less energy than spray drying, making it more cost effective. The use of protectant additives, such as skimmed milk powder and trivilose, increases the survival rate of the probiotic. Furthermore, the process parameters, such as inlet temperature and spray rate, have a significant impact on the survival of the probiotic.
