Drying characteristics of carotenoproteins were evaluated in an air‐drier using air temperature (45, 55 and 65°C) and relative humidity (5 and 15%) as main factors. the study indicated that the carotenoprotein slurry exhibited a short constant rate period drying followed by classical diffusion drying. Higher temperatures achieved faster drying rates, but adversely affected its nutritional composition and/or quality. the proximate composition of carotenoprotein air dried at 45°C and relative humidity of 5% or 15% were comparable to that obtained by freeze drying.
