Description
Summary:Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. [...]it prevents against stroke and coronary heart diseases (Le et al., 2005). The optimal parameter was selected by comparing different values of the spray-dried powder such as moisture content (%), water activity (aw), total phenolic (mg GAE/g), ascorbic acid (mg/100g), carotenoid (mg/ 100g), bulk density (g/ml), yield (%), solubility (%), hygroscopicity (%), total plate count (cfu/g), sensory score. 2.3 Physico-chemical, microbial and sensory evaluation Moisture content (%) was determined by comparing the weights of the sample with the electronic balance. III.Result & Discussion 3.1Effect of inlet/ outlet spray drying temperature to moisture content, water activity, total phenolic, ascorbic acid, carotenoid, bulk density, yield, solubility, hygroscopicity, total plate count, sensory score in spray-dried powder The main advantages of this type of drying process are its high yield and a reduction of the product of exposure time to high temperatures. According to Walton (2000), increasing air-drying temperature or decreasing feed flow rate generally resulted in a decrease in bulk density and there was a greater tendency for particles to be hollow.
