The main objective of this research work is experimental and its main objective was to determine the optimal parameters in drying the pulp of Genipa Americana (huito), using the atomization method applying various encapsulants. The experimental design applied was 3 factors: F1 type of encapsulant (maltodextrin and gum arabic), F2 temperature (°C) and F3 air speed; Therefore, 9x3= 27 experimental treatments were carried out for the two encapsulants, which led to a total of 54 experimental treatments. The concentration percentages (%) used for each encapsulant were: maltodextrin (6%) and gum arabic (6%), respectively. The spray dryer was programmed with the following temperatures: (160°C, 170°C and 180°C); The air speed used was (9.25 mL/min, 16.50 mL/min, 23.75 mL/min), the optimal performance parameters obtained in drying were: maltodextrin (temperature was 170 °C, speed of drying a...
