The significant increase in flour yield induced by the addition of the carriers could be attributed to the carrier’s ability to form outer layers on the droplet and increase the glass transitions temperature (Tg).
This could have reduced the flour depo-sition on drying wall (Ahmed, Akter, & Eun, 2010).
With the increase of MD from 30 g/100 g to 40 g/100 g, little changes were observed in flour yield but the attractive purple color of the flour significantly diminished.
