In this paper, the operating parameters of spray drying after a series of pre-processing were investigated and the properties and qualities of the freshwater mussel meat (FMM) powder were also analyzed. The considerable optimum conditions of spray drying were as follows: the inlet and outlet air temperature of the both deodorization were 180 °C and 80 °C, respectively; the optimum feed concentration for composite deodorization (CD) FMM powder was 30%, and for stewing deodorization (SD) FMM powder 27%; on top of all that, the feed temperature was 50 °C, 45 °C, respectively. In the later analysis, FMM powder was shown to be rich in protein and glycogen, up to 52.7%, 27.71% and 53.4%, 27.69%; meanwhile both the contents of essential amino acids (EAAs) in FMM powders were as high as 44%, which were close to the pattern of FAO/WHO. Thus the FMM powder of the both kinds, namely CD and SD FMM, were thought to be acceptably edible resources with high nutrition for human.
► Mass of by-products from freshwater mussel by was taken use effectively. ► Viscosity was taken to optimize the feed temperature. ► The parameters of spray-drying on all meat of aquatic product was studied. ► The quality of FMM powder was analyzed in detail. ► The results showed that the powder was good food ingredients with high nutrition.
