LA Aroma Exim present Spray Dried Natural Blackberry Powder. Spray drying, a well-known process of granulate production, involves transformation of liquid slurry into dried particulate matter through use of hot, inert gaseous drying medium. It is widely employed in processing of sugar rich foods such as fruit juices and increases the product's shelf-life significantly by reducing moisture content and water activity, thereby minimizing the risk of spoilage. In addition, the technique involves reduced packaging, storage and transportation cost consequently enhancing returns.

Additional Information
The aim of this work was to study the effect of different carrier agents (maltodextrin, gum arabic or a blend of both carrier agents) on the physicochemical properties of blackberry powder produced by spray drying. Moisture content, anthocyanin retention, antioxidant activity, colour parameters, bulk and absolute density, porosity, wettability, sorption isotherms, particle size and morphology of blackberry powders were evaluated. The use of maltodextrin resulted in less hygroscopic powders with lower moisture content and better reconstitution properties. Powders produced with maltodextrin or a blend of maltodextrin and gum arabic presented the best anthocyanin retention and the highest antioxidant activity.
