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),…
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…
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…
