Impact of Different Drying Methods on the Acerola-Ceriguela Mixed Pulp: Physicochemical Characteristics, Bioactive Compounds, and Sensory Attributes

Table 5

Mean of the acceptance of the mixed juice made with ACMP obtained by different drying methods (n = 102).

Sample (drying method)	Acceptance
A (spouted bed drying)	5.63^b ± 1.73
B (spray-drying)	5.71^b ± 1.78
C (freeze-drying)	6.52^a ± 1.21

Mean ± standard deviation. Means in the column followed by different superscript letters were significantly different , by Tukey’s test. Evaluated on a structured hedonic scale of 9 points, ranging from 1 (extremely disliked) to 9 (extremely liked).
