Example embodiments relate to methods for obtaining stable avocado pulp powders having a long life shelf life at ambient temperature, without requiring the use of natural or synthetic preservatives. The example methods thereby enable the natural components of the pulp and the organoleptic properties of the fruit to be preserved. The powders can be used to obtain compacted products, such as tablets for food or cosmetic use. The example embodiments further provide dehydration methods for obtaining avocado pulp powders, in which the avocado pulp is dehydrated using microwaves and hot air flows simultaneously. Thus, powders with low water activities may be produced without adding preservatives, while eliminating unwanted enzyme activities specific to the fruit. |
