Total carotene and surface carotene of spray-dried powders
Total carotene and surface carotene contents among the
powders are shown in Table 3. There were significant
differences in total carotene and surface carotene contents
among the wall materials used. Modified tapioca starch
had higher total carotene content (82.18%) than its native
starch (68.35%). Maltodextrin showed the lowest total
carotene content (46.74%). Surface carotene contents of
the dried powders ranged from 19.59% to 104.08%.
Modified tapioca starch had the lowest surface carotene
while native tapioca starch had the highest surface
carotene. These results indicated that, of the wall material
studied, modified tapioca starch treated with steam
