Pasta is a popular option for many consumers in the world wide. Colored pasta is one creative method to draw consumers' visual. Red fruit oil (RFO) is one of the natural colorants available. RFO has low solubility and sensitive to external conditions. An innovative solution to the problem is using encapsulation to convert oil-based components into powder-based ones. This study aims to examin…
Natural colorant is currently preferred over synthetic colorant due to health reasons. Red fruit oil (RFO) extract becomes a potential orange-red natural source. However, limitation in solubility and susceptibility to external conditions is present. Encapsulation by co-crystallization can be utilized to solve the limitations. During the co-crystallization process, xylitol is utilized to repl…
Red fruit oil (RFO) extract serves as a natural red colorant but exhibits limitations related to solubility and susceptibility to environmental factors such as oxygen, heat, and light-induced degradation. Encapsulation through co-crystallization represents a promising approach to mitigate these challenges. In this context, erythritol is employed instead of sucrose during co-crystallization t…
As the human population grows, the demand for organoleptic properties in food has linearly increased, including the use of harmful synthetic colorant. Therefore, carotenoids, as a secondary metabolites and natural compounds, can be used as an alternative to natural food preservatives. They are also attributed to antioxidant properties which are beneficial for human consumption and health. T…
Red fruit oil (Pandanus conoideus Lam.) is a carotenoid rich oil originating from Papua and a potential source of natural food colorant. Due to its volatile form, a preservation method through encapsulation by spray drying was applied in this study. Maltodextrin and whey protein isolate were used as carrier agents, five formulations were made at different concentrations (formula A (MD only),…
in recent years, natural food additives have gained an increased interest due to its importance towards healthy lifestyle. Pandanus conoideus Lamk. or red fruit oil is an endemic plant to Papua Islands that has high abundance of carotenoids, which may be considered to be a great source of natural colourant. Due to the lipophilicity nature of the oil, an encapsulation method has to be applie…
Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam.) contains high amounts of carotenoid which contribute to its distinct red color that makes it a suitable source of natural colorant. Encapsulation through cocrystallization is conducted to increase applicability of red fruit oil. The research aims to assess the effect of different storage temperatures on its quality parameters, total carotenoid content, per…
Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam.) is a suitable source of natural colorant containing a high amount of carotenoid content that contributes to its distinct red color. The research aims to assess the effect of different storage temperatures on its quality parameters, total carotenoid content, peroxide value, and color, assess the degradation kinetics of RFO in terms of its quality parameters st…
Health concerns about synthetic colorant in gummy has increased the demand for natural substitutes. The oil of Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam.) is known to have a high carotenoid content (3,027-19,959 ppm) and a red color which is a potential source of natural colorant. Conversion to powder through co-crystallization can improve the stability of Red Fruit Oil (RFO). This study compared t…
Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam.) is characterized by red coloration, due to its high amounts of carotenoid, an ideal source for natural food colorants. However, carotenoids are prone to degradation during processing. Co-crystallization is used to improve the applicability and stability of these pigments. Carotenoid content analysis was done to see the effect of processing on the recoverab…
Red fruit oil (Pandanus conoideus Lam.) is a great source of carotenoid pigment for its potential utilization as a coloring agent. In order to preserve carotenoids and improve its stability over storage, encapsulation using freeze drying was performed in this study by using two different carrier agents, maltodextrin (MD) and whey protein isolate (WPI), solely and in blends at different concentr…
