Optimisation of maltodextrin concentration
Table 4 showed a decreased in the powder yield
(%) as the concentration of maltodextrin increased.
Nevertheless, insufficient carrier agent may produce
sticky powder (Phisut, 2012). Thus, optimum
maltodextrin concentration is essential to ensure the
production of high-yield and non-sticky powder.
The present study showed that spray drying with
15% w/w maltodextrin has the highest powder yield
(31.63±2.179 %).
