Abstract

Goat's milk has a high nutritional value, easily digested and is recommended for people that have allergy to the protein related to cow's milk. This work addresses the topic application of a spray dryer to obtain the powdered goat milk. Looking certify the quality of the product, it was held in an assay temperature of 70 ° C and analyzed on the physicochemical properties such as fat, powder granulometry in the cyclone and the base of the bed. The obtained powder showed a moisture on a wet basis 6%. In this sense, this thesis aimed to get the powdered goat's milk, by spray drying, assess how the physical and chemical characteristics and determine the particle size. These very high humidity values, is due to the fact that the goat milk powder was storage container that was not suitable for powdered milk, being placed in the same bag of polypropylene and it led to this very high variation. According to the results of the physicochemical analyzes, it can be concluded that the powdered goat milk is influenced by the packaging, the storage conditions and the handling of the product. Soon this monograph can serve as a basis for other studies of this nature, and contribute to the academic class and small producers of goat's milk.
