Abstract
A higher proportion of apples produced in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is wasted due to pre-harvest drop which can be utilised for the development of various value-added products. Although apples are mostly processed into single strength juice and concentrate in J&K, there is a need to introduce new apple-based products. Thus, a study was conducted to develop apple powder from apple juice concentrate (AJC) using spray drying technique. AJC was evaluated for physico-chemical composition, phytochemical constituents, flow behaviour, thermophysical aspect, flavour compounds and viscosity, and was compared with spray dried apple powder (SDAP) developed from the same concentrate. Results inferred from the comparison of AJC with SDAP revealed that SDAP recorded lower moisture content (2.91%) and aw (0.217) but significantly (p < 0.05%) higher fibre (0.07%), carbohydrate content (95.28%) and total soluble solids (TSS) (95.78oBrix). An increase in phenolic, anthocyanin and antioxidant potential of SDAP was also recorded. Viscosity analysis demonstrated that AJC possessed content viscous nature with a viscosity of 552.8 mPa-s which was well supported by rheogram depicting Newtonian behaviour of the concentrate. Further, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicated the presence of major ester, aromatic acids, and primary and secondary alcohol groups which were further revealed by GC-MS that detected the presence of major flavour compounds (2-methyl butyl acetate) in AJC. Flow behaviour of SDAP (after reconstitution) depicted non-Newtonian (shear thinning) behaviour with low viscosity. FTIR and GC showed the presence of all chemical constituents already present in AJC thereby confirming efficiency of spray drying process. The results from the comparison study inferred that AJC can prove as an excellent raw material for spray drying after dilution.
