for encapsulate the bioactive compounds. Drying process also be considered as an important unit operation to transform moist or fluid formulations into dry solids. Drying process has been studied to encapsulate β-carotene with maltodextrin. Spray, drum, and freeze-drying provided particle sizes of approximately 30 mm, 105 mm, and 80 mm, respectively. These processes operate at different residence times and temperatures, consequently distinct dried structures were obtained. The highest β-carotene degradation was observed with drum-drying. Freeze drying provided less loss of the carotenoid, about 8%12. On this study, the encapsulation of MFR extract in dextrin was carried out by spray drying (SD) and freeze drying (FD) methods. Encapsulation yields of MFR extract by SD method (34.00%) was lower than by FD method (89.71%). The temperature inlet by SD method was carried out at 120oC and temperature outlet at 70oC. According to this data, temperature assumed was major influence to the encapsulation yields. The design of spray dryer equipment was also might be contributes to this results.
