Spray-dried is a term used to describe a process of drying liquid material by spraying it into hot, dry air. There are several synonyms for spray-dried that can be used interchangeably in various contexts. Some of the most common synonyms for spray-dried include atomized, powdered, freeze-dried, and air-dried. Each of these terms relates to a specific type of drying process used to convert liquid materials into a dry form. Atomization involves breaking down liquids into small droplets that are then dried, while freeze-drying involves removing moisture through sublimation. Air-drying is the simplest form of drying, where the material is left out in the open to evaporate naturally.
