The objective of this study was to investigate effect of blending three types of different gum (arabic, carrageenan and xanthan) in Pouzolzia zeylanica extract together with maltodextrin as well as encapsulated material during spray-drying process on the stability of antioxidant components (anthocyanin, flavonoid, polyphenol, tannin and antioxidant activities through DPPH radical scavenging capacity, ferrous reducing/antioxidant power FRAP and antioxidant ability index AAI); and physical properties (moisture content, water activity, particle size and morphology as well as the color, nonenzymatic browning) of products. The results showed that the sample which was blended with arabic gum and maltodextrin maintained well bioactive compounds and obtained powder had better quality characteristics than others. In this optimal sample, the content of anthocyanin, flavonoid, polyphenol and tannin were determined as 7.56 ± 0.106 mgCE/100 g, 31.15 ± 1.035 mgQE/g, 27.96 ± 0.380 mgGAE/g, 25.79 ± 0.530 mgTAE/g. The antioxidant activity through DPPH, FRAP and AAI were determined as 75.55 ± 0.65%, 102.87 ± 3.85 mM FeSO4/g and 38.17 ± 11.24. The moisture content, water activity, particle size, the color value of (L, a, b), total color difference (DE) and non enzyme browning (NEB) were determined as 6.42 ± 0.085 %, 0.5142 ± 0.0076, 6.26 ± 0.110 µm, 78.43 ± 0.189, 7.55 ± 0.065, 6.96 ± 0.180, 18.85 ± 0.580 and 0.298 ± 0.015, respectively.

<p>Sun drying is usually used during drying  snake fruit kernel powder processing before roasting. However, powder productions become hampered during raining season due to its highly weatherdepended. Cabinet drying can possibly be feasible alternative. The aim of research was to compare and describe the effect of sun drying and cabinet drying on proximate content, physical properties, and antioxidant activity of snake fruit kernel powder from Gading, Pondoh Manggala, and Pondoh Lumut varieties.  Each of snake fruit kernel from Gading, Pondoh Manggala, and Pondoh Lumut, was divided and dried under two conditions, i.e. 3 days sun drying and cabinet drying at a temperaure of 60°C for 18 hours. Then dried kernel  was roasted at a temperature of 180°C for 30 minutes, grinded, sifted using 40 mesh sieve to obtain snake fruit kernel  powder. Samples were analyzed for their proximate content, solubility, total soluble solid and antioxidant activity.  Results of the study showed that there was no significant difference among variables: chemical composition and solubility, but antioxidant activity and total soluble solid were significantly different. Total soluble solid of cabinet-dried snake fruit kernel powder was more higher than that of sun-dried, however antioxidant activity was more lower.   </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: cabinet drying, kernel powder, snake fruit,  sun drying, variety </p>

This study aimed to characterize the influence of Centella asiatica at 0.3% and 0.7% on antioxidant activities; mechanical and physical properties of chicken skin gelatin/CMC/ Centella asiatica film. Characterization of the blended films with 0.7% Centella asiatica extract shows higher antioxidant activities with a total phenolic content of 0.36 mg/g of GAE, DPPH of 89.26%, and reducing power of 0.80 nm compared to 0.3% Centella asiatica extract added where the total phenolic content was 0.29 mg/g of GAE, DPPH of 89.26% and reducing power of 0.80 nm. The addition of 0.3% of Centella extract provide higher value in tensile strength, elongation at break, melting point and transparency but lower in UV-light penetration and crystallinity of the films. While the addition of 0.7% Centella extract contributes to higher value in WVP and puncture test. In conclusion, the incorporation of Centella asiatica extracts on film greatly increased antioxidant levels and improved some of the mechanical and physical properties of the film blends.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of different drying methods on the physical properties, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of extracts from Moringa oliefera L. (MO) leaf waste. The effects of two drying techniques, namely, sun drying (A1) and tray drying (A2), on the physical and antioxidant properties of the extracts obtained using three extracting solvents, i.e., water (b1), ethanol (b2), and ethyl acetate (b3), were investigated. These extracts were analyzed for their physicochemical and antioxidant properties. The antioxidant properties were determined with the Folin Ciocalteau, aluminum chloride, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR) was used to identify functional groups in the active compounds. It was found that the physical properties of the MO extract, including yield, pH, total solids, and color, showed significant differences for the two drying methods (p < 0.05). The b3 extract had the highest value for total phenolic contents, total flavonoid contents, and antioxidant activities, followed by b2 and b1, respectively, for both the sun drying and tray drying methods. There was a significant correlation between the total phenolic and flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity (IC50). This study reveals that waste material from MO leaves could be utilized as an antioxidant agent, which is expected to reduce environmental pollution from the MO processing industry.
