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 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 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…
