Abstract:
The effect of three different coating materials, including maltodextrin (MD, 9.95-20.05%), gum arabic (GA, 4.98-10.02%), and whey protein isolate (WPI, 4.95-15.05%), was optimized in order to produce high-quality beetroot extract powder (BEP) using response surface modeling (RSM). Beetroot extract (BE) was encapsulated using MD, GA, and WPI by implementing a spray-drying method. The highest total phenolic content (TPC) was obtained at 15% MD, 7.5% GA, and 10% WPI. The same results were achieved for antioxidant activity. Increasing the MD and GA contents resulted in reducing the moisture adsorption of microencapsulated BEP.
