| | ARS | Publication request: Spray-Drying of Amylase Hyrolyzed Sweetpotato Puree and Physicochemical Properties of Powder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | The high viscosity of sweetpotato puree was anticipated to be a challenge in pumping and atomization during the spray-drying process, and the sticky behavior due to high sugar content in sweetpotato puree may affect spray-drying efficiency. |
 | | Thus, the objective was to determine the effects of alpha-amylase, maltodextrin concentration, and inlet air temperature on the physicochemical characteristics of spray-dried sweetpotato powder. |
 | | A face center cube design was used to evaluate the effects of amylase level (0, 3.75, and 7.5 ml/kg puree), maltodextrin concentration (0, 10 and 20%), and inlet air temperature (150, 190 and 220C) on powder characteristics. |
