Dragon fruit peels (Hylocereus polyrhizus) are generally only considered trash by the public because they are considered useless, even though dragon fruit peels still contain useful nutrients. Dragon fruit skin can be used as food, one of which is a jam. The addition of pineapple fruit variations to dragon fruit peel jam as a flavor enhancer and natural fragrance to reduce the use of sugar in jam and the aroma of pineapple fruit can mask the distinctive aroma of dragon fruit which is less desirable. The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate concentration variations in the manufacture of dragon fruit peel jam with the addition of pineapple, which consumers liked. This study used a completely randomized design with six (6) treatments and two (2) replications. Dragon fruit peel jams analyzed by chemical tests included moisture content, sugar level, and pH, while organoleptic test included color, texture, taste, aroma, and a total of 30 untrained panelists. Observation data were processed using ANOVA (α = 5%) and further tested using the honest significant difference test (BNJ) (α = 5%). The results showed that the pineapple’s addition to dragon fruit peel jam had a very significant effect on the panelists' preference for aroma and taste, but not significantly different from the color, texture, and chemical characteristics of jam. The N6 treatment (dragon fruit peel 250 g: pineapple fruit 250 g) was the best jam, based on chemical characteristics (pH content of 3.52, moisture content of 18.65%, sugar level of 53.30%) and preferable in organoleptic characteristics (2.97 of color, 2.97 of texture, 2.97 of flavor, 3.00 of taste). Keywords: agricultural waste, dragon fruit peel, jam, pineapple

The peel of red dragon fruit [Hylocereus polyrhizus (F.A.C.Weber) Britton and Rose] can be used to treat various diseases and to improve immune system of body. This study was aimed to investigate the in vitro macrophage phagocytic activity of extracts and fractions of red dragon fruit peel (Hylocereus polyrhizus). The in vitro test was conducted based on the method of Leijh et al. The parameters of phagocytic activity were based on the macrophages capacity to phagocytose latex beads using the calculation of phagocytic capacity and phagocytic index. The test results indicated significant difference (p < 0.05). The petroleum benzene extract showed higher phagocytic activity of macrophages than methanol extract of the fruit peel, sediment, and media control (-). The LSD test showed that macrophage phagocytic activity using fractions (500 and 100 μg/ml) was significantly different from macrophage phagocytic activity using fractions (20 μg/ml), sediment (500, 100 and 20 μg/ml), extracts (500, 100 and 20 μg/ml), and media control.

Plastic derived from petroleum is challenging to degrade and pollute the environment. There are alternatives to making biodegradable plastics to reduce the adverse effects of plastics on the environment. This study aims to utilize dragon fruit peel waste as a material for making bioplastic. Plastic characterization was carried out by FTIR analysis to determine the functional groups contained in bioplastics. The results showed that dragon fruit peel could be extracted by HCl solution, and the pectin yield is 11%. Extracted pectin was used to make bioplastics with and without the addition of ethylene glycol. The results showed that moisture content of bioplastics of dragon fruit peel pectin is 5.71–12%, while dragon fruit peel pectin and ethylene glycol are 2.86–5.71%. FT-IR spectra showed that the bioplastics from dragon fruit peels belong to the pectin group, which produces carbonyl absorption at 1636–1628 cm-1 and stretching C-O stretch at 1098–1101 cm‑1.

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.

Abstract Dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel is high in antioxidants and fiber; however, it is discarded during processing. In this study, changes in physico-chemical properties of dragon fruit peel after drum drying were determined. Ground dragon fruit peel was drum dried at 1 rpm with 2 bar steam pressure, then analyzed for physical, chemical and functional properties. The betacyanin content was twofold higher in drum-dried powder (41.55 mg/g dm) than in a fresh sample (80.21 mg/g dm), yet up to 98.62% of the total phenolic content was retained with a 3.328 mg trolox/g dm reduction in the radical scavenging activity. The density of the powder was 0.1315 g/mL with 51.44% soluble in water. The functional properties determined included water holding capacity (2.523 g water/g sample), oil holding capacity (3.565 g oil/g sample) and swelling capacity (6.233 mL/g). The results of this study indicate that drum-dried dragon fruit peel can be considered to contain potentially functional ingredients.
