Design and optimization of a strawberry-based dispersion to produce a spray drying functional powdered product, fortified with folic acid and zinc

ABSTRACT: The optimization of a strawberry-based dispersion to produce a powdered product fortified with Folic Acid (FA) and Zinc (Zn) was realized. The methodology involved production and characterization of strawberry pulp and strawberry-based dispersion, optimization of the dispersion process, and the manufacture and description of a powdered product. The optimal conditions for obtaining the strawberry-based dispersion were determined to be 11.7 % arabic gum (AG) and 23.3 % maltodextrin (MD). The recovery percentage of the powder was 71.38 %. The folic acid (FA) and zinc (Zn) contents in the strawberry powder were 272.3 mg/100 g and 0.21 %, respectively. The powder contains 20 % and 58 % of the daily reference values for pregnant mothers for FA and Zn, respectively. It is concluded that it was possible to optimize dispersion and obtain a strawberry powder fortified with AF and Zn suitable for consumption by pregnant women.
