The demand of phenolic compounds has increased over time because of their important properties that are advantageous in food and pharmaceutical applications. However, the production of these compounds is limited by the availability of raw materials and the unstable characteristics of the compounds. One such potential plant-based source that can be used for the production of phenolic compounds is mango seed kernel (MSK). It is found that the water extracts of MSK (MSKE) contain significant levels of polyphenolic compounds with substantial antioxidant activities.

In this study, phenolic compounds are recovered from mango seed kernel extracts using spray-drying technology. The effects of maltodextrin concentration and initial solids concentration of MSKE to the physicochemical properties of spray-dried phenolic powders are investigated. Results indicate that varying %maltodextrin (MD) and the initial solids …
