Abstract:Drying, as alternative process, enhances stability, eases transport, and prolongs storage for fruits and fruit pulps. This study focused on producing açaí foam with 2% emulsifier and comparing it to a control (0% emulsifier), following by drying (60 °C) in a forced air circulation oven. Açaí powder with 2% emulsifier exhibited a higher effective diffusion coefficient (5.35 × 10−4 cm2 s−1) than the without emulsifier counter part (1.41 × 10−4 cm2 s−1). The pores formed after pulp aeration with the emulsifyi… Show more
