Simple test methods to determine the onset temperatures of viscous flow and caking of spray-dried amorphous lactose are described. The extent of viscous flow was measured as an increase in the density of lactose plugs within a cylindrical aluminium compaction apparatus after incubation for 3 h at a specified temperature. Caking was characterized by an increase in the hardness of the lactose plugs formed. The onset temperature of viscous flow decreased with increasing water activity, A w , and corresponded to the onset temperature of glass transition, T gl . Glass transition temperatures were determined using both differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin relaxation. The results suggest that elevation of the powder temperature above T gl promotes viscous flow and increases the potential for caking of amorphous food powders.
