Determining pigment extraction efficiency and pigment stability of dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus)
Pigment extracted from the pulp of Hylocereus polyrhizus showed a difference in colour when subjected to room temperature extraction and 110°C extraction. The room temperature extraction yielded red-purple coloured pigments while the 100°C extraction yielded scarlet red coloured pigments. Experime...

Pigment extracted from the pulp of Hylocereus polyrhizus showed a difference in colour when subjected to room temperature extraction and 110°C extraction.

Experiments were carried out to investigate the best water:weight ratio and optimum temperature to obtain highest pigment concentration, best extraction method and best storing condition. Best water:weight ratio was 1:1, best temperature observed was 100°C, best extraction method was by using juice concentrate rather than water extraction and the best storing condition was storage in -20°C. Both extraction methods exhibited stable pH reading after one week of storage.
