This research was conducted at food science department, faculty of Agriculture, Damascus University.

hot air drying method was applied to process peach pulp powder at 60°, which by adding of maltodextrin as assistant agent (de-20-30) to peach pulp by two concentrations (10 and 20%).

the results showed that the powder processed from peach pulp by adding maltodextrin (20%), was better than other treatments whence of lower percentage of moisture from (87.27 to 4.07%), and higher percentage of ash from (1.03 to 2.03%), total acidity content from (0.34 to 0.80% as malic acid), solubility (96.56%), apparent and real intensity (0.86 and 1.63 g/cm3) respectively and yield of drying process (8.64%).

while the powder processed from peach pulp by adding maltodextrin (10%), was better than other treatments whence of vitamin c (0.75 mg/ 100g fresh weight), total phenol content (28.30 mg equivalent gallic acid 100g fresh weight), total flavonoids content (3.50 mg equivalent quercetin/ 100g fresh weight) and antioxidants activity (19.27%).

on the other hand the powder processed from peach pulp without adding maltodextrin, was better than other treatments whence of ph value (4.09) and total sugar content (56.26 g/100g).
