It has already been proven that phenolics have antioxidative properties. Figure 1b shows the total phenol content (50.44–223.54 mg GAE/100 g) of Asian pear juice powder prepared with three maltodextrin concentrations and spraydried at three inlet air temperatures. The total phenol content in spray-dried Asian pear juice powder was consistent with other pear varieties (Table 2) but greater than spray-dried pineapple fruit juice powder (40.5 mg/100 g, Selvamuthukumaran and Khanum 2014) and spray-driedgrape fruit juice powder (46.9 mg/100 g, Selvamuthukumaran and Khanum 2014). Current values of spray-dried Asian pear juice total phenolic content were lower than spray-dried sea buckthorn fruit juice powder (453.6 mg/ 100 g) reported by (Selvamuthukumaran and Khanum 2014) and spray-dried bayberry juice powder (294.82 mg/ 100 g) reported by Fang and Bhandari (2011). These variations could be related to differences in raw sample types and encapsulating agents used. The total phenolic content in Asian pear juice powder significantly (p.05) decreased as maltodextrin increased whereas temperature had a positive correlation with total phenolic content. Similar results were observed by Mishra et al. (2014) forspray-dried amla juice powder and by Wariyah and Riyanto (2016) for spray-dried aloe vera juice powder. Total soluble solid content tends to increase with increasing maltodextrin concentrations as the reacting molecules are located closely together and this arrangement influences the phenolic content (Ahmed et al. 2010; Kirca et al. 2007). Total phenol content in Asian pear juice powder increased with increasing inlet air temperature as a result of polyphenol synthesis. Mishra et al. (2014) showed that totalphenol content increased in amla powder when temperature increased from 125 to 175 C after which phenolic content decreased. Ho et al. (2015) noted that phenolic content was reduced in spray-dried sim juice powder when drying temperature exceeded 180 C. Therefore, it can be concluded that drying temperature is the crucial factor for phenolic content and 170 C is the optimum temperature for Asian pear juice powder.
