Description

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) botanically considered as the fruit is belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae [1]. It is an important fruit crop native to tropical Africa. Watermelon flesh contains high levels of of vitamins, minerals and other antioxidant compounds (e.g. phenolics and lycopene), which play an important role in human metabolism. Despite its high nutritional value, watermelon is a seasonal fruit and is not available all year round. Spray drying can be applied to turn the watermelon juice into powder, which has a longer shelf life and is easily available [2]. Watermelon juice powder maintains the color, aroma and nutrients of watermelon. It has potential application prospects as a colorant, flavoring agent and ingredient in the food industry, as well as in the production of lycopene-rich capsules with functional and nutritional appeal [3].
