Abstract PDF: This study aimed to develop a powderization strategy using porcine by-products (kidney, liver, and heart) by evaluating the effects of raw material type, pretreatment, and additives (hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose P645 and gelatin) on powder characteristics. Powders from kidney tissue were analyzed for yield, particle structure, compressibility, and size distribution, based on the drying method and additive composition. The spray-dried sample with gelatin at 1:0.5 (w/w) showed 20.4% compressibility and the smallest, most uniform particles, indicating excellent flowability. Due to its superior structural stability, gelatin was selected over HPMC P645. Liver and heart samples that underwent enzymatic hydrolysis and the Maillard reaction were spray-dried with gelatin and assessed for yield and microstructure. The Alcalase-treated liver sample showed the highest yield. Surface analysis confirmed that gelatin formed a protective film enhancing particle stability. These findings suggest gelatin-based spray drying is effective for producing high-quality powders from protein-rich by-products.
