Abstract
Modulated differential scanning calorimetry, wide angle x-ray scattering, and environmental scanning electron microscopy were used to investigate the physical and morphological properties of chicory root inulin spray dried under different conditions. When the feed temperature increased up to 80 °C, the average degree of polymerization of the solubilized fraction increased, leading to a higher glass transition temperature (Tg). Above 80 °C, the samples were completely amorphous, and the Tg did not change. The starting material was semicrystalline, and the melting region was composed of a dual endotherm; the first peak subsided as the feed temperature increased up to a temperature of 70 °C, whereas above 80 °C, no melting peak was observed as the samples were completely amorphous. To a lesser extent, the inlet air temperature of 230 °C allowed a higher amorphous content of the samples than at 120–170 °C but induced a blow-out of the particles.
