Effect of foaming agent on quality and yield of foam mat dried papaya powder

The study was carried out for utilization of papaya fruit cv. Madhu for preparation of foam mat dried fruit powder. The conversion of papaya pulp into foam was optimized by whipping the pulp after addition of glycerol-mono-stearate (GMS) and drying the resultant foam in dehydrator (60±5°C) to constant moisture content. Drying of papaya foam by using 3% GMS results in 11.93 per cent yield and was found the most appropriate with respect to desired foaming properties (foam density, foam expansion and foam stability), physico-chemical as well as sensory characteristics.
