CONCLUSION
The present work describes possibility of producing
pumpkin puree powder by freeze drying and the
changes in some physicochemical and powder
properties of powders. The results showed that
freeze drying can satisfactorily be applied for
drying of pumpkin puree to obtain powders that
can be used as an ingredient for flavoring and
improving nutritional value purposes. The
possible uses of this dried product in food
systems and storage potential might be studied
in future projects.
