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…
Phytoplasmas, which are bacteria that lack cell walls, are known to infect a variety of host plants and spread quickly within them including fruit plants and other types of flora causing significant agricultural losses. Phytoplasmas infect a wide variety of plants, causing irregular plant growth such as phyllody. Phyllody is a developmental transformation in plants that transforms flowers into …
Photorhabdus insect-related toxins A and B (Pir A and Pir B) are two different types of insecticidal toxins that were firstly found in Photorhabdus luminescens. Its homolog, from Vibrio parahaemolyticus, is found to cause acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in the shrimp, since it contains plasmid pVA1. When binded together, Pir A and B can exert its effect, because they form a stru…
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…
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 is an indigenous plant that grows mainly in Papua that is commonly used as a natural colorant but it has several limitations. Co-crystallization was chosen to be the suitable encapsulation method to improve the stability and solubility of RFO. Sodium caseinate (NaCas) were prepared as the emulsifier in the crystallization to improve the stability of RFO. The pure RFO, co-crystalli…
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 is a native plant found in Papua Island with a high carotenoid concentration, thus it is considered a promising source of natural food colorant. However, as it is present in the form of oil, it is prone to oxidation and hard to dissolve in water. Hence, an encapsulation method such as co-crystallization is required. Sodium caseinate, WPI, and SPI were used in this study as a pr…
