Summary:The present invention generally relates to particulate compositions and methods for making the compositions. It specifically relates to improved spray drying methods that substantially reduce the production of small particles that pose industrial hygiene concerns for factory workers and product consumers. In a composition aspect, the present invention provides an atomized aqueous composition. The composition is formed using a spray-drying apparatus. It includes 0.001 to 0.10 weight percent of a polymer, which is selected from a group consisting of a cellulose-based polymer, a gum, and a synthetic polymer. It further includes at least one polypeptide, which is present in the aqueous composition at a concentration greater than 0.01 weight percent.
