Assessment of radio frequency heating on composition, microstructure, flowability and rehydration characteristics of milk powder by Yu ZHONG (4628155)

“…For powder flowability, raw sample had low cohesiveness (specific energy = 4.39 mJ/g), and RFH provided better flowability and decreased compressibility. Moreover, RFH had some negative impacts on wettability and solubility of powder particles with contact angle increase at least 5% and solubility decrease of 2%~4%, indicating worse rehydration abilities. …”
