Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate concentration of compounds in the feedstock solution and the conditions of the spray drying process and process conditions for high-pressure homogenization and spray drying on powder pineapple (pulp, core, and peel) quality. The independent variables were considered: maltodextrin (8.0-12.0%), homogenization pressure of the suspension fed to the dryer (30-50 MPa), rotary atomizer speed (18000-20000 rpm), inlet air temperature (125-155°C), and outlet air temperature (80-90°C). The experimental optimization of multiple responses defined the independent variables as homogenization pressure (44.4 MPa), maltodextrin (10.2%), inlet air temperature (134.9°C), outlet air temperature (80°C), and rotary atomizer speed (18296 rpm). The dependent variables were: aw (0.215±0.006), solubility (81.9±1.3%), hygroscopicity
