“…Microencapsulation is a technology that has been used to maintain the viability of probiotics and release antimicrobial metabolites, as well as to provide protection to phenolic compounds during food processing and storage (Li et al, 2018;Miller et al, 2018;Akbas et al, 2017;Pérez-Chabela et al, 2013). Spray-drying has been used in formulations with fruit pulps because of its simplicity and scalability (Macías-Cortés et al, 2020;Robert and Fredes, 2015;Heidebach et al, 2012). The latter are consequence of the short exposure time to heat and fast particle drying during the process, which makes it an attractive and well-established unit operation for many applications that can be taken to industrial level.…”
