experimental design included three compositional variants of powders, where the oil fraction was made
up of the blend of palm and rapeseed or rapeseed at different ratios (52.5% or 35% w/w total solids). Each
group of model powders was formulated with four different carbohydrates (Nutriose, inulin, poly-
dextrose, and trehalose), wherein a carbohydrate-to-protein-material ratio was at 5.3:1 in all cases.
Results demonstrated that changes of the RHc of spray-dried fat powders were significantly affected by
the type of carbohydrate. Neither fat type nor fat content had a significant effect upon the RHc of
powders. Powders with Nutriose showed the highest RHc at 25 C (70e80%), followed by powders with
inulin (RHc 30e40%) and powders with trehalose and polydextrose (RHc 30e35%). A strong positive
correlation was found between RHc and the monolayer coverage values obtained via DVS water vapor
isotherm, as well as the MDSC Tg values. In addition, a strong negative correlation was demonstrated
between RHc and specific water activity “as is” for powders after their spray drying. In turn, no corre-
lations were found between moisture content in powders after their spray drying and RHc, the mono-
layer coverage values, as well as the MDSC Tg.
