Provided is an electrostatic spray dried powdered milk product with a surface composition comprising at least 8% less fat compared to a spray dried powder of the same milk product. Further provided is a method of providing a powdered milk product comprising electrostatic spray drying a milk product at an inlet temperature of below 150° C. The electrostatic spray dried milk product powder has a surface composition with a reduced fat content and increased carbohydrate content relative to the same milk product powder prepared by high heat spray drying.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a psyllium husk granule whose affinity for water is significantly improved, and a method for producing the psyllium husk granule. In addition, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a powdered drink in which the psyllium husk granule is used. The psyllium husk granule is obtained by performing granulation using powdered sugar which has passed through a 120 to 280-mesh Tyler screen. The method for producing the psyllium husk granule comprises fluidizing a mixture containing a psyllium husk and powdered sugar which has passed through a 120 to 280-mesh Tyler screen, then spraying water, and finally drying the mixture for granulation.

Disclosed herein is a method for improving the health of animal or human microflora using aloe vera. A method of purifying decolorized dried aloe vera leaf juice is also disclosed. The method may include removing an aloe vera leaf from an aloe vera plant, washing and/or sanitizing the leaf, and grinding the leaf into a slurry and subsequently purifying with activated carbon. The method may remove pigmented substances including the undesirable phenolic compounds present in aloe vera latex, and in particular the anthrones aloin A and aloin B, aloesin (a chromone) and aloe-emodin (an anthraquinone). Following purification, the liquid juice may then be spray-dried to form a final dry juice powder.

Provided is a granular composition, including the following components (A), (B), (C), and (D): (A) 20 mass % to 70 mass % of a plant extract; (B) starch; (C) 5 mass % or more of a sugar alcohol; and (D) a cellulose derivative.
