Abstract

Aims: To determine the appropriate parameters for the production process of jackfruit powder from “Changai” small size jackfruit by foam mat drying technique.


Methods: The study was carried out on the basis of investigating the factors (i) affecting the foaming process (egg albumin and carboxylmethyl cellulose concentrations) and (ii) the influence of hot air drying conditions (drying temperature and foam thickness) onthe quality of jackfruit powder.


Results: Tackfruit juice was stirred with egg albumin (4%) and CMC (7.5%) to help create a good and sustainable foam film. On the other hand, the foam layer was dried at 60oC and 3mm thick to help recover the powder with good color and best kept nutrient content with vitamin C content of 3.96 mg%; carotenoid content of 5.34 μg/g; total sugar of 11.27%, reducing sugar content of 8.33 g/100g and the total acid content of 0.077% and  moisture of 4.28%.


Conclusion: This research result helps to diversify products from jackfruit by a new drying method to reduce input costs but still ensure quality.
