Abstract:Research on optimizing the spray dry preparation technology of Akebia trifoliate fruit powder and analyze its dissolution characteristics. First of all, the effects of dry agent dosage, pulp solids content, inlet air temperature, outlet air temperature on fruit powder yield were discussed by single factor tests. And then the spray drying process conditions were optimized by orthogonal test, and the dissolution characteristics was analyzed by detection of powder fluidity, solubility, dissolution time. The results showed that the optimal preparation conditions of Akebia trifoliate were as followed: malt dextrin dosage 16%, pulp solids content 20%, the inlet air temperature 150 ℃, outlet air temperature 75 ℃. Under these conditions, the powder yield was reached to 15.52%, powder flow 9.25 cm, solubility 56.37%, dissolution time 20.2 s.
