A spray drying process for drying a spray dryable liquid composition to a spray dried powder, wherein the spray dryable liquid composition contains no carrier, a carrier being a solid material that is utilized in the spray dryable liquid composition, containing liquid and the product to be spray dried, to carry and at least partially support or at least partially encapsulate the product in the spray dried powder, the process comprising: providing the spray dryable liquid composition at a solids concentration not exceeding 80% by weight, based on total weight of the spray dryable liquid composition; atomizing the spray dryable liquid composition to generate an atomized spray of liquid particles of the spray dryable liquid composition into a spray drying chamber; flowing a stream of drying fluid at temperature not exceeding 100°C into the spray drying chamber for flow through the spray drying chamber, to contact the spray of liquid particles therein for drying of the liquid particles to form the spray dried powder; and discharging from the spray drying chamber effluent drying fluid and the spray dried powder dried by contact with the drying fluid in the spray drying chamber, wherein the spray dryable liquid composition comprises at least one product material selected from the group consisting of food materials, beverage materials, fragrance materials, pigment materials, flavor materials, pharmaceutical materials, medication materials, homeopathic materials, probiotic materials, and mixtures, blends, composites, and combinations of two or more different materials of the foregoing, and generating localized turbulence at multiple loci in the spray drying chamber to enhance drying of the spray dryable liquid composition in the spray drying chamber, by injection of secondary drying fluid into the spray drying chamber via a combination of peripheral and central jets so as to generate localized turbulence whereby the particle void volume in the particles of the spray dried powder discharged from the spray drying chamber is less than 10% of the total particle volume. a carrier being a solid material that is utilized in the spray dryable liquid composition, containing liquid and the product to be spray dried, to carry and at least partially support or at least partially encapsulate the product in the spray dried powder, the process comprising: providing the spray dryable liquid composition at a solids concentration not exceeding 80% by weight, based on total weight of the spray dryable liquid composition;
