Production Process of a Carbonated Drink from Red Flesh Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus)

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to present a suitable production process of a carbonated drink from ingredients originated from red flesh dragon fruits. Additionally, optimal parameters in the hydrolysis and pasteurization stages of the juice were determined so that the product could retain the highest bioactive ingredients while still maintaining favorable color. The investigated parameters of pectinase hydrolysis process included hydrolysis temperature (35, 40, 45 and 50oC), hydrolysis time (1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours), concentration pectinase enzyme level (0.4; 0.6, 0.8 and 1%) and enzyme pectinase content (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8%). Outcomes which were considered in optimization processes included polyphenol content, vitamin C content and DPPH scavenging activity. The results are expected to aid in diversification of products from dragon fruit raw materials to meet the increasing demand of consumers.
