drying dehydrating liquid spices

Apparently you just mix it 60/40 fat/tapioca and hit it with a food processor.

Powdered Orange Blossom Yogurt

yogurt + orange blossom water + tapioca starch

Thorougly mix yogurt and orange blossom water. Stir in tapioca starch. Mix until thoroughly incorporated and a powder consistency is reached.

Technique: Tapioca Powdering

Adding a tapioca starch to a liquid causes the absorption of the liquid, turning the liquid into a powder. WD-50 uses this concept to make a powdered olive oil, and Alinea uses a similar method for their powdered salt caramel dessert. Specialized starches- tapioca maltodextrins- are used in such places. You can also use tapioca starch from the grocery store, although the tapioca flavor can be chalky and overpowering. Once the powder goes into your mouth, the original liquid feeling is achieved. Olive oil powder turns into olive oil, yogurt powder turns into yogurt.

Composition: Yogurt, Orange Blossom

To overcome the chalkiness of the tapioca starch, a vanilla yogurt is used. Upon reconstitution of the powder, the sourness and sweetness of the yogurt is what helps us to identify it as yogurt. The orange blossom water adds a strong fragrance that will also withstand the “stress” of being converted to a powder and back.

Ingredient: Orange Blossom Water

Neroli oil, the essential oil of the orange blossom, has a fragrance reminiscent of Morocco or Spain. At Goood Frikin Chicken, they pour orange blossom water over their rice pudding dessert (topped with cinnamon and pistachios).

Like THP said, tapioca maltodextrin is used a lot in powdering liquids. You can even make powders from oil with the stuff. Do a google search on it.

Don't know if it just works for fatty liquids though.

thanks for the links you posted, I havent looked through them all yet, only because of the spice place that already sells liquid spices in powder form, it makes it easy vs making your own. though that place doesnt have every liquid spice so the maltodextrin is still worth finding for those other flavors!
 
So now you have answers for store-bought and homemade, so I hope to see pics soon.

I just assumed there was no such thing to have basic sauces in powder form.

It took us a while to figure it out, but it can be done. The trick is not having to add drying agents or anti-clumping compounds, as it will affect the flavor, no matter what chemical/agent you use.

Of course, having a Homunculus well-versed in transmutations and alchemical processes does have its perks.

I can take pics of the chips I'm gonna make someday soon but it wont be with those spices from that site, since I havent ordered them yet or find the anti-caking agents.

You know, the term Homunculus comes from the belief a tiny fully formed individual was present in the sperm cell. So, I'm suddenly wondering exactly it is that puts the defcon in Defcon. And a little worried.
 
Actually, The Homunculus were originally created by Alchemists to basically help him in the lab. Ours however, through self-training, have begun the mastery of suggestion and limited mind control. This is why when people open their Defcon shipments, they don't notice a few of them emerging from the box and taking up residence within their homes. It's just another facet of our Global Assimilation mission.
 
The D&D one is kinda fun:
