The objective of this study was to optimize the process of Spray Drying (SD) for the obtaining of coconut powder fortified with Physiologically Active Compounds (PAC), according to the dryer's operating characteristics and the product, being (SD) is one of the most used technologies in the powder industry, guaranteeing good quality attributes for various applications in the food sector; it was used a response surface design based on five independent variables:: Maltodextrin (MD), Inlet Air Temperature (IAT), Outlet Air Temperature (OAT), Atomizing Disk Velocity (ADV) and drying Chamber Vacuum Pressure (VPC) and the dependent variables: yield (*R), Deposit Formation (DF) in the drying chamber, humidity (Xw), water activity (aw), Hygroscopicity (H), Solubility (S), wettability (Hu), color (L*, a* y b*), recovery of PAC (Ca, vitamins C, D3 and E), Peroxide Index (PI) and particle size (D10, D50 y D90). The results were analyzed statistically from the Statgraphics XVI.I software and through analysis of variance with 5% level of significance. In general, response variables were affected by all independent variables. The experimental optimization defined the CP+PAC process conditions as follows:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
