Abstract(s)
Powdered foods are easy to store and transport, with a longer shelf life that minimizes
potential waste, contributing to sustainable development. Each food category has a unique composition,
responsible for its chemical and physical attributes, which directly influences the stability of
powdered products. The drying method used is essential to obtain the desired characteristics of the
powdered food, and the choice of each technology can provide unique morphological properties regarding
size, shape, and density, among other factors. Furthermore, rehydration properties must also
be investigated, as they play a fundamental role in the reconstitution of powdered foods, influencing
the dispersion and dissolution of the powder in liquids. Therefore, this review provides a comprehensive
overview of the powdered food manufacturing process and its advantages. Special attention
is given to the desirable properties of food powders, challenges related to stability, powdered food
reconstitution properties, and case studies regarding many powdered foods.
