Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of different DE values of malto-dextrin on Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus spray-dried powder. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the spray-dried powder, powder properties and microscopic morphology were determined, and then the moisture absorption isotherms and the glass transition temperature were used to predict its storage stability. The study showed that after adding malto-dextrin, the powder rate was increased; moisture content was decreased; Tg was increased; mobility got better; produced spherical microstructure; and Tg was increased with the decrease of DE value. The water activity-equilibrium moisture content (aw-EMC) relationship in GAB models showed, the moisture absorption of powder was increased with the rising of DE value; and the equilibrium moisture content-glass transition temperature (EMC-Tg) relationship in Gordon-Taylor models showed that, Tg was decreased with the increase of moisture content. As a result, the storage critical condition of the spray-dried powder was improved, and along with the decrease of DE value, the critical water activity and the critical water content were increased. Therefore, the smaller the DE value, the greater the stability of the spray-dried powder.
