Camu-camu is a native Amazonian fruit mainly known for its high vitamin C content. Its composition confers high antioxidant capacity on this fruit and makes it a potential source of antioxidant products. The use of spray-drying with the aid of a carrier agent is a technique that has been applied for the preservation of important components of foods and drugs. The objective of our work was to evaluate the influence of those agents used as shell material on the vitamin content and total phenolic compounds of camu-camu powder juice obtained by spray-drying. Materials and methods. A commercial frozen camu-camu pulp was the raw material; maltodextrin and gum arabic were the selected carrier agents. Processes were performed in a mini-spray-dryer with inlet and outlet air temperatures of 180 °C and 85 °C, respectively, and a drying air flow rate of 700 L·h1. Laser diffraction was used to determine the particle size distribution of the samples, and sorption isotherms of spray-dried camu-camu were measured using a static gravimetric method. Total phenolic compounds and vitamin C were determined in the raw pulp and in the powders obtained. Results. When using gum arabic and maltodextrin as the carrier agents, the moisture results obtained for the spray-dried camu-camu powders were 2.8% and 3.2%, respectively; the process yield was 84% and 72%, respectively. The spray-dried powder produced using gum arabic presented higher contents of vitamin C [(15,363 ± 226) mg·100 g1] and phenolic compounds [(6,654 ± 596) mg GAE·100 g1] than the powder obtained with maltodextrin, respectively (11,258 ± 298) mg·100 g1 and (5,912 ± 582) mg GAE·100 g1. Conclusions. The concentration factors for the vitamin C and phenolic compounds in camu-camu powder reveal the effectiveness of spray-drying to preserve the antioxidant capacity of this fruit. Gum arabic was a more effective barrier than maltodextrin for bioactive compound retention.

Its properties have been widely studied, the most important being its antioxidant, antimicrobial activity and, in fairly primary studies, antitumor, antiseptic and is also considered tonic and digestive. In folk medicine, the infusion of oregano has been used as an aid in the treatment of cough. Hippocrates used oregano as an antiseptic, as well as a cure for stomach and respiratory diseases. A Cretan oregano (O. dictamnus) is still used today in Greece as a palliative for sore throat. Oregano has a high antioxidant activity, due to a high content of phenolic acids and flavonoids. In test tube studies, antimicrobial activity has also been demonstrated against strains of foodborne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes. In traditional Austrian medicine it has been used internally (as tea) or externally (as an ointment) for the treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and the nervous system.
