Аннотация:The jabuticaba is originally a Brazilian fruit and begins to be exploited commercially for the production of frozen pulp, jelly, liquor, among other products.The processing of jabuticaba generates a lot of waste, from the peel and seeds, which are usually discarded in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution.However, these residues are good sources of functional ingredients, such as anthocyanins (purple pigments) and elagitannins, both potent antioxidants.The objective of this study was to extract the pigment from the pulping of jabuticaba's waste and characterized it, to study the process of spray drying the pigment; characterize the powders, as well as its antioxidant properties and storage stability.To this aim, jabuticaba was pulped, and the residue (peel and seeds) was obtained from an aqueous extract, which was characterized as the soluble solids, pH, moisture, ash, protein, lipid, fiber, sugars and acidity, and then was dried in a spray-dryer with agents carriers of 10 maltodextrin and gum arabic.The powders were characterized for moisture, hygroscopicity, instrumental color, morphology and particle size, anthocyanins, stability and antioxidant properties by ORAC and DPPH methods and stability during storage.The aqueous extract obtained showed 10% of total soluble solids, pH 3.54, acidity 0.71 g citric acid/100g
