Maltodextrin was a commonly used carrier due to its high solubility in juice, neutral taste and low viscosity properties. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of maltodextrin (10–25 %) on the physicochemical properties of spray dried microcapsules of anthocyanin rich jaboticaba juice. Jaboticaba berries were blended and subjected to ultrasonication to enhance anthocyanin extraction in the juice.

Although maltodextrin content more than 15 % resulted in the highest lightness of jaboticaba microcapsules, their colour intensity expressed in chroma was reduced. In contrast, 15 % maltodextrin produced spherical microcapsules with a narrow range of particle size (6.42–8.65 μm) and exhibited intermediate flowability and compressibility. Microcapsules with 15 % maltodextrin retained the highest content of cyanidin 3-glucoside (51 mg/L), though their encapsulation efficiency was only 65 %.
