Abstract
Prunus mume is said to aid in the recovery of fatigue and improvement of liver and stomach functions. To obtain the best benefits of the whole fruit, fresh green Prunus mume was de-seeded and the fruit pulp was vacuum dried. The vacuum-dried pulp was powdered and sieved through a 250 ${\mu}m$ sieve. Then the sieved green Prunus mume powder (GPP) was granulated with water (GPPGW) and with Prunus mume extract (GPPGE) with a fluid bed coater. The physicochemical and sensory properties of GPP, GPPGW, and GPPGE were then evaluated. As a result, the water dispersibility (dispersible time) of GPP, GPPGW, and GPPGE was 21.19 sec, 6.46 sec, and 4.85 sec, respectively. The powder fluency (angle of repose) of GPP, GPPGW, and GPPGE was $11.25^{\circ}$, $8.65^{\circ}$, and $9.52^{\circ}$, respectively. The overall consumer acceptance of GPP, GPPGW, and GPPGE was 3.50, 4.62 and 5.00, respectively. Inconclusion, Prunus mume can be used as granulated whole fruit pulp with good powder fluency and dispersibility.
