چکیده

A study was conducted using LabPlant SD-06 Spray Dryer to produce spray-dried rosellepineapple powder. Roselle calyces and pineapples were extracted under optimum condition. Three different maltodextrin DE 10 concentrations (3%, 5% and 10%) were added (w/w) as the encapsulating agent prior to spray drying. Inlet temperatures were varied at 140 C, 160 C and 180 C respectively and the outlet temperature was set at 80 C. The spray-dried roselle-pineapple powder were analysed for moisture content, dissolution, water activity and hygroscopicity. The results indicated that maldodextrin concentration and inlet temperature had significant effects on the percentage of yield. Extracts with 10% maltodextrin gave the highest percentage of yield and produced less sticky film at the wall of the dryer chamber. At 180 C, juice with 10% of maltodextrin produced the finest powder. When inlet temperature and the percentage of maltodextrin increased, the moisture content, dissolution and water activity decreased and its hygroscopicity increased.

Effects of Colloidal Nanosilica on Epoxy-based Nanocomposite Coatings

Epoxy-based nanocomposites were fabricated with different content of colloidal silica nanoparticles such as 10.0, 20.0 and 30.0 wt %, through solution casting. The covalent bonding interfaces, resulting from a ring-opening reaction between silica nanoparticles and epoxy matrix were confirmed by the Fourier transform (FT-IR) infrared spectroscopy. These nanocomposites were characterized for ...
