Optimization of pH and temperature stability on the extraction of natural plant pigments betacyanins from leaves of red spinach (Amaranthus Gangeticus Linn.) for a potential food colorant purpose / Zamir Aliff Zafri
Red spinach (Amaranthus Gangeticus Linn.) or “sayur bayam merah” is one of the abundance vegetables in Malaysia comes from the family Amaranthaceae. The leaves of red spinach is a potential sources of betacyanins which responsible for the bright red-violet color. The objective of this study was to a...
