The effect of temperature and feed rate on spray dried cinnamon infusions (SDCInf) using maltodextrin as an encapsulating agent was studied (inlet temperature: 140, 160, and 180 degrees C; feed rate: 8 and 10 mL/min). Total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant capacity (DPPH*), morphology (SEM), chemical (FIR) and rheological properties, and releasing profiles were assessed in SDCInf. Cinnamon infusions (CInf) resulted in 29.32 (+/- 0.70) mg of GAE/g of cinnamon. As for DPPH* inhibition, EC50 was 0.291 (+/- 0.09) mg of cinnamon/mL. Microparticles showed a deflated-balloon like shape, encapsulating up to similar to 85% of the cinnamon infusion, and a simple shear-thinning behavior (n < 1). Results show that powdered SDCInf obtained at 160 and 180 degrees C and 10 mL/min yielded the best protection for cinnamon infusions. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
