Hylocereus Polyrhizus

Dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) which comes from family of Cactaceae is one of the tropical fruit in Malaysia. The peels of red dragon fruit are the possible sources of betacyanin, which responsible for the red-violet color even though the peel always regarded as a waste. The objective of this study is to assess the stability of natural pigment extract from dragon fruits peels by using simple water extraction method and assessed by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrometer. The extracted natural pigments then were introduced to several optimization conditions such as extraction time (1 – 6 hours), temperature (25 – 100 °C) and a range of pH (2 – 12). This study was also investigated the stability of natural pigment towards light. Results analysis of dragon fruit peels extracted shown that the optimum conditions were 4 hours of extraction time, 25 °C and pH 5. Sample extraction of natural pigment that has been optimized was more stable compare to control when exposed to light. In addition, the natural pigment extracted from dragon fruit peel was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. In conclusion, the natural pigment extracted by using solvent extraction method from dragon fruit peels has ability to be used as natural colorant.

Hylocereus Polyrhizus

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.

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.

Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit belongs to Cactae family of genus Hylocereus. Popular as buah naga in Malay, dragon fruit is not only sought after for its wonderful taste, but this fruit is also nutritionally and medicinally attractive for consumers. The dragon fruit flesh is usually eaten raw or it is processed into juices and the remaining peel will be discarded. To minimize the waste created from dragon fruit consumption, an idea of transforming the peel of dragon fruit into edible pectin has been proposed. Pectin can be found in food products as a gelling agent and it is used to maintain the quality of foods. Recent market demand for pectin is increasing annually and to meet the supply-demand, researchers are working towards obtaining pectin from available non-conventional sources. In this study, pectin was extracted from dragon fruit peel by hot acid extraction at pH 3.5 and 75 mins of extraction. Distilled water was used as a solvent and the acidic environment was achieved with dilute HCl. Degree of esterification (DE) analysis was performed by FTIR. The extracted pectin was categorized as high methoxyl pectin based on DE (52%). The endothermic properties of dragon fruit pectin analyzed by DSC indicating the stability of extracted pectin compared to citrus peel pectin. Pectin extracted was characterized in terms of moisture (14.03±1.925), ash content (8.73±1.218), as well as water and oilholding capacity (4.08±0.0.81) (2.18±0.096), swelling capacity (5.94±1.271) and texture profile in terms of gumminess (33.66±6.05), cohesiveness (1.06±0.08) and hardness (31.63±3.81). All characteristics were compared with citrus peel pectin.

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).

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.

Anthocyanins present in the red dragon fruit peel (Hylocereus polyrhizus) can be used as natural dyes. An extraction procedure can be used to acquire anthocyanins. The maceration method was used to isolate anthocyanin dyes in this analysis. The aim of this study was to see how the solvent ratio affected the total anthocyanin content in the skin of red dragon fruit. This research used laboratory experimental method using descriptive analysis. The solvent ratios used were (1:30, 1:40, 1:50 and 1:60) with a mixture of distilled water with 10% citric acid as the solvent. Parameters observed were total yield, pH, residual solvent content, spesific gravity and total anthocyanin content.  The best treatment was found to be red dragon fruit peel with a solvent ratio of 1:30, which produced the highest total anthocyanin content of 4.73 mg/L. This treatment resulted total yield 7.40%, residual solvent content 0.05%, spesific gravity 1.30, and pH 1.05, respectively.  It was proven that the more solvent added could linearly decrease the effectiveness of anthocyanin extraction of dragon fruit peel extracts.
