Face centered central composite design was used to investigate the effect of spray drying process parameters (inlet temperature, atomization pressure and feed flow rate) on selected quality parameters of whole camel milk. During storage by freezing, the integrity of camel milk fat globules is maintained with observed aggregation. Whole camel milk contains 12.18% total solids, 3.5% protein and 3.99% [w/w] lactose whereas for the powders, the total solids content was in the range of 94–97%, protein 22–29% and lactose 27–31% [w/w]. By combining response surface methodology with desirability function, the spray drying process of whole camel milk was optimized with objectives of maximizing the yield and minimizing undesired quality degradation parameters. Consequently, it was possible to recover 62% of total solids without affecting the desired aspects of the final physico-chemical properties of powders (minimum insolubility index of 0.1 mL and surface fat content of 4.2% [w/w]) with targeted final moisture content of 4.5% [w/w]. These properties would make the powders safe during extended period of storage.
