Both spray drying and freeze-drying can be used to dehydrate dairy products, yet they serve different production objectives. For mass-market products such as whole milk powder, skimmed milk powder, and infant formula, spray drying is generally the more rational industrial choice due to its continuous production capabilities, high processing efficiency, and mature powder control technologies. Freeze-drying offers advantages primarily in low-temperature dehydration and the preservation of heat-sensitive components and product structures; however, its long production cycles, limited throughput, and high processing costs make it better suited for high-value, small-batch, or specialty dairy products.
