The aim is to identify optimal process parameters for foam mat drying of papaya pulp to maximize foam quality.
Foam mat drying utilized whey protein isolate and methyl cellulose as the foaming agent and stabilizer, respectively.
Three parameters—foaming agent concentration, stabilizer concentration, and whipping time—were varied and optimized using response surface methodology.
Optimization focused on maximizing foam expansion and stability while minimizing density.
Optimal conditions were determined to be 6.55% foaming agent, 0.57% stabilizer, and 13.09 minutes whipping time.
At these conditions, foam expansion reached 148.63%, foam stability was 74.16%, and foam density measured 0.38 g/cc.
