Spray dried powered honey is produced using similar equipment to that used
to product milk powder. I researched this a few years ago and found 4
companies that produce powder, each with a different % of Honey.
70%, 60%, 40%, 25%. In each case an anti caking agent was used,
Maltodextrin. The final product at 25% honey has a moisture content of 4 %
and is very hygroscopic becoming sticky when exposed to moist ingredients or
the atmosphere.
Bulk Density 0.50+- .03 gm/cc
Sieve analysis 1% max retained on 1180pm
It is a good way to add value to honey, good luck.
