The use of colorants in the dried noodle manufactures is an effort of product diversification. Besides of being used as a natural coloring agent, this peel extract is also used to improve nutritional value of the expected product. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of red dragon fruit peel extract on the physical quality of dried noodle.  The study was conducted by using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method with one factor, namely concentration of red dragon fruit peel extract (N1 = 10 ml, N2 = 15 ml, N3 = 20 ml, N4 = 25 ml, N5 = 30 ml).  The observations of its physical quality consisted of water absorption, solid loss during cooking, and organoleptic tests (aroma and color).  The best quality of dried noodle was obtained by using 30 ml red dragon fruit peel extract (N5) with physical properties, namely DSA levels of 351.92%, solid loss during cooking 4.78%, aroma 3.79 (like) and color 3.89 (like).

This study aims to determine the concentration of starfruit juice and dragon fruit peel on the quality of jam. The experimental design used was a one-factor Randomized Block Design (RAK) with six treatments and three replications to obtain 18 samples. The treatments were the concentration of starfruit juice and dragon fruit peel extract with P1 (100% : 0%), P2 (85% : 15%), P3 (70% : 15%), P4 (55% : 45%), P5 ( 40% : 60%) and P6 (25% : 75%). Parameters observed were vitamin C levels, antioxidant activity, spread, and color as well as sensory tests (color, aroma, and taste). Data analysis results were tested by analysis of variance at a significance level of 5% using Co-Stat software. If there is a significant difference, then the orthogonal polynomial further test is carried out, while the physical and sensory tests are further tested using the Honest Significant Difference test at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the concentration of star fruit juice and dragon fruit pulp did not have a different effect on vitamin C levels but had a significantly different effect on antioxidant activity, spread, and color. P6 treatment resulted in the highest antioxidant activity of 77.27%, 12.80 mg of vitamin C content, 10.1 cm of smearing power, and sensory properties that were acceptable to the panelists.

Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel contains anthocyanin, fiber and vitamin C, so it can be used to improve lipid profile in dyslipidemia. The peel of the dragon fruit is not durable, so in this study we used freeze-dried dragon fruit peel. The aim of this study was to prove that the administration of the red dragon fruit peel in a dose of 0.72 g/200 g BW, 1.08 g/200 g BW, and 1.44 g/200 g BW of rat per day for 28 days may improve lipid profile in male wistar strain white rats with high-fat diet. Lipid profiles were studied by examining of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. This was a pure experimental study using randomized post test only control group design. This study used experimental animal of 30 male wistar strain white rats which were divided into five groups. Measurements of total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol levels were done by CHOD-PAP method, while triglyceride level was measured with GPO-PAP method. Data were analyzed statistically by One Way Anova test. The results of this study indicated that giving the peel of red dragon fruit as much as 0.72 g lowered total cholesterol levels, 1.08 g lowered total and LDL cholesterol levels, and 1.44 g lowered total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and raised HDL cholesterol level. Red dragon fruit peel can be used alternatively to improve lipid profile in dyslipidemia.

Dragon fruit is a popular fruit grown in Malaysia. It is well known for the rich nutrient contents, and it is commercially available worldwide. It is rich in anthocyanins and antioxidants. Dragon fruit is also an essential source of betacyanin, which serves as a red/purple pigment with antioxidative properties. The objective of the present work is to study the stability of natural colorant from dragon fruit peel. The crushed peel and water were taken in the ratio of 1:10 and was subjected to seven different types of extraction techniques such as microwave-assisted extraction, ohmic heating, ultrahigh-pressure homogenization, sonicator, supercritical fluid extraction, aqueous extraction, Soxhlet extraction. Out of the microwave-assisted extraction had the most Anthocyanin content, and it was used for further studies. The selected extract was filtered, and the stability of anthocyanin was examined at varying pH (2…10) and temperature (60…100⁰C). In addition to this, thermal stability (80…100 ⁰C for 150 min) was checked at a deferent time interval (80 to 100⁰C…150 min.). The microwave extract was used for the encapsulation process using maltodextrin, and soy protein isolate as carrier material with 1:4, 1:5 core to wall ratio by spray drying and freeze-drying techniques. The quality analysis, such as total anthocyanin content, encapsulation efficiency, color, water activity, bulk density, solubility, and moisture content, were analyzed of microencapsulated anthocyanin extract. This result showed that encapsulated dragon fruit peel (pitaya) powder could be used as a natural colorant in food applications.

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.
