Effect of Spray-drying on the Proximate Composition and Functional Properties of Watermelon-Orange-mango fruit puree composite powder

Tropical fruits are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and other health-promoting compounds, but their high moisture content makes them highly susceptible to postharvest deterioration, resulting in substantial losses in many developing countries. Converting fresh fruits into stable powder through spray-d...

Effect of Freeze-Drying on the Proximate Composition and Functional Properties of Watermelon-Orange-Mango Fruit Puree Composite Powder

Watermelon, orange and mango are highly perishable tropical fruits with considerable nutritional value, but their high moisture content limits their storage stability and contributes to postharvest losses. This study investigated the effect of freeze-drying on the proximate composition and functional properties of wate...

Effect of Freeze-Drying on the Phytochemical, Microbiological and Sensory Quality of Watermelon–Orange–Mango Composite Fruit Powder

Tropical fruits are highly nutritious but highly perishable because of their high moisture content, leading to substantial postharvest losses in developing countries. This study evaluated the effect of freeze-drying on the phytochemical, microbiological, and sensory quality of watermelon–orange–mango composite fruit po...

Effect of Spray-Drying on the Nutritional Composition of Watermelon–Orange–Mango Composite Fruit Powder

This study investigated the effect of spray-drying on the nutritional composition of watermelon–orange–mango composite fruit powder. Six composite puree formulations were prepared from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) and mango (Mangifera indica L.) and evaluated for sensory acceptability...
