Dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) is known for its purple-coloured peels and pulp, which can be attributed to the presence of betalains. In this study, the potential of red dragon fruit as a source of natural colorant was investigated. Betacyanins were extracted from red dragon fruit peels and flesh in 1:3 ratio with water. Microencapsulation by spray-drying was done by adding 5% and 10% (w/v) maltodextrin (DE 11.8) to peels and flesh extracts, respectively. The spray-dried colorant powders all obtained <10% moisture content, 5.261-6.409 g/100g hygroscopic moisture content, and 5.317-7.349(mg/100L) betacyanin content. Morphological characterization revealed spherical, agglomerated particles with visible cracks on the surface. The stability study conducted showed that pigment retention was lowest at 70°C and highest at 4°C. Keywords: Hylocereus polyrhizus; Red dragon fruit; Betacyanin; Microencapsulation; Physicochemical properties

  Objective: Indonesia is a country which has various natural resources including medicinal plants. Among the plants, red dragon fruit is interesting to be studied. In this study, antioxidant activity of red dragon fruit peel (Hylocereus polyrhizus (F.A.C. Weber) Britton and Rose) isolate was tested using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl method.Methods: Isolation of active compounds was performed through the application of vacuum liquid chromatography and preparative thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Antioxidant activity was tested using both TLC and spectrophotometry.Result: Results revealed that the values of IC50 of isolate 1 and 2 were 2.952, 14 μg/mL and 25.635,95 μg/mL, respectively.Conclusion: Isolate of dragon fruit has antioxidant activity. The compound which results in antioxidant activity is terpenoid and steroid.

Utilization of Trichoderma sp fungi as pathogenic fungi antagonists in red dragon fruit plants (Hylocereus polyrhizus) in vitro. The purpose of this study was to identify foul pathogens of dragon fruit plants and then test the ability of Trichoderma sp antagonists to deciduous pathogens of red dragon fruit plants in vitro. The study was conducted from August to October 2016, The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Pest and Plant Disease Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Mulawarman University, Samarinda. Sampling of plants exposed to foul tendrils was carried out in Bukit Merdeka Village, Samboja District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. There are two data observed in this study, primary data and secondary data. Primary data is data obtained directly from the source through direct field observations and laboratory observations and secondary data data obtained from interviews with farmers. The results showed that the pathogen that causes tendon rot in dragon fruit plants is the fungus Colletotrichum gloesporioides (penz. Ssaac). Trichoderma sp can inhibit the development of pathogens Colletotrichum gloesporioides (Penz.) Ssaac., With the highest average resistance of 71.85%.

Abstrak.  Suatu penelitian telah dilakukan untuk mengetahui efek agitasi susu probiotik yang ditambahkan buah naga merah (Hylocereus Polyrhizus). Penelitian ini dilakukan di Laboratorium Ilmu dan Teknologi Pengolahan Susu Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Syiah Kuala pada tanggal 29 April - 31 Mei 2016. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) pola faktorial 2x4 dengan 3 kali ulangan yang terdiri dari 2 faktor, A, agitasi yaitu (A1) dan (A2) non agitasi. Dan faktor B yaitu konsentrasi buah naga merah (B1) 20%,  (B2) 25%,  B3 (30%) dan (B4) 35%. Parameter yang diamati adalah derajat keasaman (pH), total mikroba dan uji organoleptik. Hasil penelitian menunujukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang sangat nyata (P0,01) terhadap derajat keasaman (pH) dan berpengaruh nyata terhadap total mikroba (P0,05) serta terdapat interaksi antara kedua perlakuan. Sedangkan untuk uji organoleptik terdapat pengaruh yang sangat nyata (P0,01) terhadap kekentalan dan warna susu probiotik.  nilai derajat keasaman pH 4,03 - 4,11 dengan agitasi (pengadukan) masih sesuai dengan standar (SNI) 01-2981-1992. Sedangkan nilai total mikroba optimal terjadi pada penambahan buah naga sebanyak 30% baik agitasi maupun non agitasi. Effects of Milk Probiotic Agitation Added Red Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus Polyrhizus) on Sensory Test and Total Plate Coun Abstract.  A study about effects of milk probiotic agitation added red dragon fruit (Hylocereus Polyrhizus)  has been conducted to determine to test sensory and total plate count. This research was held at the Laboratory of Science and Milk Processing Technology, Agriculture Fakulty Syiah Kuala University on April 29 to May 31, 2016. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) 2x4 factorial design with three replications consisting of two factors, A, agitation (A1) and (A2) non agitation. And factor B is the concentration of red dragon fruit (B1) 20%, (B2) 25%, B3 (30%) and (B4) 35%. The observed parameter is the degree of acidity (pH), total microbial and organoleptic tests. The results of the study indicate that the there is a  highly significant influence (P 0,01) to the degree of acidity (pH) and total significantly affected the total microbial (P 0.05), and there is interaction between the two treatments. As for organoleptic tests are highly significant effect (P 0.01) the thickness and color of probiotic milk. acidity pH value of 4.03 to 4.11 with agitation (stirring) is still in accordance with the standard (SNI) 01-2981-1992. While the total value of optimal microbial occurred upon addition of dragon fruit by 30% both agitation and non agitation

Large production of red dragon fruit by-products, which are frequently discarded from food industry has become a major waste problem. Converting this waste into useful products with good physicochemical properties could solve the pollution issues. Thus, a study was carried out to investigate the effect of blanching and drying temperatures on physicochemical properties of red dragon fruit peel powder. Dragon fruit peel was pre-treated with hot water at 90 °C for 2 minutes before being dried in hot air oven dryer at 50 °C, 60 °C and 70 °C. Results showed that the powdered sample of blanched and dried at 50 °C had significantly higher fiber, water activity and moisture content than those of unblanched/blanched and dried at 60 °C and 70 °C. Result also showed that the colour of this powder was similar to the fresh dragon fruit peel. When dried at 50 °C, the unblanched and blanched powders exhibited a slightly higher water solubility index compared to those dried at 60 °C and 70 °C. Based on the evaluation of bulk and tapped densities, all powders having the Carr Index in the range of values between 20 and 28 thus can be categorised as slightly poor flowing. For all conditions studied, powder that was blanched and dried at 50 °C was the best condition as it contained the highest amount of fiber with good physicochemical properties.

Dragon fruit Hylocereus polyrhizus  and Hylocereus undatus are familiy of cactus, grown in Malang. The high consumption of dragon fruit, have an impact on the fruit skin buildup that simply disposed of as trash. Dragon fruit skin is known to have a source of natural red dye, which is Betacyanin. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of the dragon fruit peel extract Betacyanin Hylocereus polyrhizus and Hylocereus undatus as well as the stability of the organoleptic jelly, which will be developed into a learning materials atlas for class VIII Junior High School. The study was conducted in September-October 2015. The study was conducted in three stages. This type of research phase I and II is True Experimental, and phase III is development. The results of phase I shows that various concentrations of ethanol (70% and 90%) have an effect on the characteristics of the extract Betacyanin skin dragon fruit Hylocereus polyrhizus and Hylocereus undatus, but very significant effect on skin extract dragon fruit Hylocereus undatus the treatment of N2, EI at pH 4,5. Later in the phase II study results showed that different concentrations of extracts of the best Betacyanin significantly affect the organoleptic stability of jelly. The results of phase III is the development of phase I and II studies into Atlas media for 8th grade of  Junior High School.
