First-order Modeling of Wall Composition and Outlet Temperature Effects on Particle Morphology and Antioxidant Properties of Spray-dried Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense) Pulp Powders
Caryocar brasiliense (pequi), a native fruit of the Brazilian Cerrado, is a rich source of bioactive compounds—particularly carotenoids and phenolics—yet its high lipid content and pronounced seasonality restrict industrial utilization. This study evaluated the effects of wall material composition (maltodextrin, MD, an...
