Abstract

Tamarind and pineapple fruit pulps and powders were assessed based on their physicochemical properties such as crude protein crude fibre fat ash moisture content water activity (Aw) particle shape particle size distribution and density. Both of the fruit powders were subjected to a similar spray-drying process with the addition of 10 w/v of maltodextrin. The nutritional value in terms of crude protein (0.33 - 0.60) moisture content (4.80 - 25.31) crude fiber (16.92 - 79.92) and fat (0.40 - 0.63) for both fruit pulp and powders shows a significant difference at p0.05. Therefore the fruit powders can be developed and improved for further processing into tablets.
