Abstract

Influence of process conditions on the physicochemical properties of jussara pulp (Euterpe edulis) powder produced by spray drying Influência das condições de processo nas propriedades físico-químicas de pó de polpa de juçara (Euterpe edulis) produzido por atomização AbstractThe objective of this work was to optimize the spray drying of jussara pulp using mixtures of modified starch (MS) with whey protein concentrate (WPC) or soy protein isolate (SPI) as the carrier agents. Two central composite rotatable designs were used to evaluate the effect of the independent variables of inlet air temperature (140 °C to 200 °C), carrier agent concentration -CAC (0.5 to 2 g carrier agent/g jussara pulp solids) and the proportions of MS:WPC or MS:SPI (5 to 30 g WPC or SPI/100 g carrier agent) on the following responses for powders formulated with MS:WPC and MS:SPI, respectively: moisture content (0.3% to 1.4% and 0.6% to 1.2%), solubility (78.0% to 92.9% and 78.9% to 83.8%), retention of total anthocyanins (49.2% to 82.9% and 34.1% to 96.9%), encapsulation efficiency (98.5% to 99.7% and 98.5% to 99.5%), hue angle (9.1 to 44.0 and 3.7 to 42.6), chroma (10.0 to 15.3 and 9.2 to 14.3) and process yield (33.2% to 55.5% and 49.9% to 78.5%). The inlet air temperature 170 °C, CAC of 1.25 and 2 g/g jussara pulp solids and proportion of MS:WPC or MS:SPI of 17.5 and 30 g/100 g were recommended as the selected conditions. Keywords ResumoO objetivo deste trabalho foi otimizar a secagem por atomização da polpa de juçara, utilizando-se misturas de amido modificado (AM), concentrado proteico de soro de leite (CPL) ou isolado proteico de soja (IPS), como agentes carreadores. Dois delineamentos compostos centrais rotacionais foram realizados para avaliar o efeito das variáveis independentes: temperatura do ar de entrada (140 °C a 200 °C), concentração de agente carreador -CAC (0,5 a 2 g de carreador/g de sólidos de polpa juçara) e proporções de AM:CPL ou AM:IPS (5 a 30 g de CPL ou IPS/100 g carreador) sobre as seguintes respostas para pós formulados com AM:CPL e AM:IPS, respectivamente: teor de umidade (0,3% a 1,4% e 0,6% a 1,2%), solubilidade (78,0% a 92,9% e 78,9% a 83,8%), retenção de antocianinas totais (49,2% a 82,9% e 34,1% a 96,9%), eficiência de encapsulação (98,5% a 99,7% e 98,5 a 99,5%), ângulo de tonalidade (9,1 a 44,0 e 3,7 a 42,6), croma (10,0 a 15,3 e 9,2 a 14,3) e rendimento do processo (33,2% a 55,5% e 49,9% a 78,5%). A temperatura do ar de entrada de 170 °C, CAC de 1,25 e 2, e a proporção de AM:CPL ou AM:IPS de 17,5 e 30 foram recomendadas como condições selecionadas.

The Physico-Chemical Properties of Bovine and Buffalo Whey Proteins Milk by Using Ultrafiltration Membrane Technology

“…The spraydrying technique requires good adjustment for work conditions and also appropriate for solutions contain active components. The most important factors of succeeding in the drying process are the log on/off temperature, the ratio of spray, pressure average and the concentration of solid material (Gallo et al, 2011;Santana et al, 2018). The spray-drying is characterized to remove water at limits of 96 % and it works for αhelixes unfolding that leads to form random coils.…”

Technical Parameters Affecting the Spray Drying of Roselle (Hibiscus Sabdariffa) Powder

“…The optimal drying operating variable were noticed at 20% maltodextrin, 130°C input temperature, 75°C output temperature and 22,000 rpm spraying speed. Audirene et al 67 optimized the spray dehydration of jussara pulp with the support of modified starch and whey protein concentrate by input temperature from 140°C to 200°C. The input temperature 170°C was recommended.…”

Physicochemical Characteristics and Antioxidant Potential of a Fruit Beer Produced with Juçara (Euterpe edulis Martius) Fruit Pulp

“…Juçara fruit has been identified as a "superfruit" due to its nutritional (fatty acids, dietary fiber, protein, and minerals) and bioactive (mainly phenolic compounds) composition. The total lipid content in juçara fruits is between 9.75 and 27.36%, with a predominance of monounsaturated fatty acids (45.5%-56.8% of the total lipid content), mainly oleic acid [14,15]. Protein varies between 3.07 and 5.34%, while dietary fiber ranges from 4.39-5.40% [15,16].…”
