The invention provides a composition useful in maintaining or improving mobility, preferably joint function and muscle strength in ageing, healthy subjects. The composition includes specific amounts of glucosamine or a pharmaceutically-acceptable derivative thereof, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc. Also provided is the composition in the form of a powdered food product, and a beverage product comprising the composition in the form of a powder which has been reconstituted in a liquid. Also provided is the use of the composition or food or beverage product in maintaining or improving mobility, preferably joint function and muscle strength in ageing, healthy subjects.

Disclosed are processes for preparing dry or powder dairy compositions having low lactose contents and containing polyphenol compounds. The resultant dry or powder dairy compositions can be used to form reconstituted fluid dairy products, which can have improved organoleptic properties, such as less cooked flavor, sulfur odor, and brown color.

A spray nozzle is used for spraying a product to be dried, wherein the spray nozzle has a groove on an outer wall, and a measurement sensor for measuring a measured value is disposed in the groove, wherein an autarkic energy supply is associated with the measurement sensor. The autarkic energy supply, in particular by means of a piezo-element, is disposed in the groove, so that the measurement sensor can be operated without an external cable-based energy supply. In addition, a spray dryer is used for drying a product to be dried and to a method for monitoring and/or controlling and/or regulating a temperature when drying a product to be dried.
