Abstract: Wood apple is a fruit, which containing many nutrient values and bioactive compounds. In the present study, The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the input variables of the spray drying process. Three coded independent variables viz. input dry substance concentration (X1 ), input flow (X2 ), spray drying temperature (X3 ), corresponds to the encoded variables Z1 (from 20 to 24 %), Z2 (from 5.35 to 6.72 mL/min.), Z3 (from 140 to 160oC). The R2 correlation coefficient between the experimental values and the predicted values from the model up to 0.967 indicated the satisfactorily of the predicted model. Three optimal input parameters to get the highest efficiency of dry matter recovery (51.80 %) were derived at Z1 = 24 %, Z2 = 5.35 mL/min., Z3 = 160oC. The powder product obtained has a good sensory quality, high contents of antioxidants and nutritional components.
