Spray Drying and Process Optimization of Unclarified Pomegranate (Punica granatum) Juice

Spray Drying of Pequi Pulp: Process Performance and Physicochemical and Nutritional Properties of the Powdered Pulp

“…Osório and Carriazo (2011) and Horuz et al (2012) observed similar results for the powders of guava and pomegranate juice, respectively. Caparino et al (2012) reported higher values of bulk density for mango pulp powder than for pequi powder.…”

Effects of processing conditions and formulation on spray drying of sour cherry juice concentrate

“…Several approaches have been applied to overcome the stickiness problem such as using polymers, gums and proteins as drying aids, cooling the chamber wall, using dehumidified air as a drying medium, and using air broom systems . Moreover, optimization of spray drying conditions and formulations has recently been studied in various fruit juices and pulps . In optimization studies the independent variables often investigated are inlet air temperature, feed flow rate, amount of carrier in slurry (or fruit juice) and type of carrier material.…”

“…Examining the results of these studies with respect to process yield has indicated that the trends observed were quite different in each study. For instance, depending on the temperature range investigated, an increase in the inlet air temperature resulted in higher, similar or lower process yields. Moreover, increasing the carrier concentration in the feed solution resulted in higher or lower process yields; this is probably related to the difference in viscosity of feed solutions where maltodextrin and gum arabic were used as carrier, respectively.…”

Spray‐drying of pomegranate juice with prebiotic dietary fibre

“…Vardin & Yasar () obtained a similar drying yield of 63.4% with maltodextrin DE 7, working at 110 °C and 1.33 g drying‐aid g CPJ −1 . Higher drying yields of 86% are reported for pomegranate juice using high amounts of maltodextrin DE 6 (Horuz et al ., ).…”
