The Effect of Maltodextrin Concentration and Spray Dryer Drying Temperature on the Characteristics of Coconut Milk Powder

Coconut milk has a higher water content than other contents, so microbes can easily damage and spoil it. To obtain low-moisture powder product, the liquid coconut was dried using Buchi Mini Spray dryer B-290 with inlet temperatures of 150°C, 160°C, 170°C. The researchers added maltodextrin to milk, which had ratio grated 1:3, in concentrations 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%. addition use drying temperature did not significantly affect pH, solubility, percentage product mass but moisture content. best operating conditions for producing were at concentration 13% Under these conditions, produced pH value 6.12, 4.56%, solubility 98.74%, 24.99 grams an overall 21.32%.
