“…The advantages of foam-mat drying method are homogeneous heating of the food material, accelerating the moisture transfer by increased surface area with air incorporation into the foam and increasing energy efficiency of drying (Kudra & Ratti 2006, Asokapandian et al 2016, Hardy & Jideani 2017. With foam-mat drying method, the product quality is improved compared to other conventional drying methods or is preserved better by foammat drying method in terms of product yield, powder flowability, solubility, rehydration behavior, antioxidant retention, color and thus final product quality (Chaux-Gutiérrez et al 2017, Seerangurayar et al 2017, Darniadi et al 2018, Cakmak 2020, de Cól et al 2021). In addition, fruit juices or pulps with appreciable sugar content like bacaba, blueberry, cantaloupe, crab apple, date, mango or muskmelon were successfully dried by foam-mat drying (Wilson et al 2014, Asokapandian et al 2016, Hardy & Jideani 2017, Salahi et al 2017, Seerangurayar et al 2017, Darniadi et al 2018, Cakmak 2020, de Cól et al 2021.…”
