Reaction Steps
An aqueous sodium citrate solution was prepared by adding 40.4 grams of sodium hydroxide pellets (99% pure) to 210 grams of citric acid monohydrate in 450 grams of distilled water. To this, 8.8 grams of acetaldehyde/diacetyl flavorant was added. The mixture was mixed in a high speed blender for less than 5 minutes, and was then transferred to a Niro dryer. The dryer maintained an inlet air temperature of 120° C., and an outlet air temperature of 90° C. The mixture did not dry, but remained coated on the walls of the dryer.
