Abstract
Bayberry juice was spray dried with maltodextrin (DE 10) as a carrier and then stored under different temperature and water activities (aw). The retention of the total phenolic content (TPC) and total anthocaynins (ACN) during the drying process were about 96% and 94%, respectively, suggesting spray drying was a satisfactory technique for drying heat sensitive polyphenols. Under an aw of 0.11-0.44, the TPC and ACN in bayberry powders decreased by about 6-8% and 7-27%, respectively, after 6months storage at 4°C; at 25°C for the same storage period the decreases were between 6-9% and 9-37%, respectively, while at 40°C the decreases were in the range 7-37% and 9-94%. The anthocyanin component w..
