At this optimized condition the predicted values for
process yield, moisture content, hygroscopicity and solubility were
56.35%, 2.54%, 24.82% and 71.01% respectively, close to the experimental
values of 58.42%, 2.62%, 24.12%, 71.12% respectively, indicating the suitability
of the model to be used in optimizing the spray drying process
for production of quality tamarind pulp powde
