Abstract

Dragon fruit skin contains anthocyanin dyes which are quite high. Anthocyanins are dyes that give red color
and can be used as natural dyes for food. This study aims to determine the ratio of the 10% citric acid solution
with the time of maceration to obtain the highest anthocyanin levels and to determine the stability of the red
dragon fruit peel extract. The research design used was a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with
two factors, namely the ratio of red dragon fruit peel pulp with 10% citric acid solvent consisting of three
levels: 1: 3; 1: 6; 1: 9. The second factor is the length of maceration of the red dragon fruit skin which consists
of three levels: 3 days; 3.5 days; 4 days. Analysis of red dragon fruit peel extract includes yield, anthocyanin
levels, pH value, color intensity, and stability test. The best treatment of red dragon fruit peel extraction was
obtained in the sample ratio of 10% citric acid solution (1: 3) and the duration of maceration for 4 days with
a yield of 22.92%; pH value of 1.84; anthocyanin levels of 52.27 mg / L; L * color intensity of 16.54; color
intensity a * of 75.57; color intensity b * was 9.63 and the best anthocyanin dye stability test was obtained at
a pH of 3 and a temperature of 7 °C.

1. Introduction

Indonesia is a tropical country that is rich in fruits. Various fruits can be cultivated well and
thrive, one of which is red dragon fruit. However, the part of red dragon fruit that is often used is the
flesh, while the skin of the dragon fruit is often thrown into waste. Even though dragon fruit has a
fairly thick skin, which is between 30-35%. Dragon fruit peel contains high enough natural
anthocyanin dyes. Anthocyanins are dyes that have a role to give red color and have the potential to
become natural dyes for food and can be used as an alternative to synthetic dyes that are safer for
health [1].
The effort to utilize the red dragon fruit peel is by extracting anthocyanin pigments using the
maceration extraction method. Anthocyanins are classified as pigments called flavonoids that can
dissolve in polar solvents [2]. Acidic conditions also affect the extraction yield. The more acidic, the
more anthocyanin pigments are in the form of colored flavilium or oxonium cations and the
absorbance measurement will show that the number of anthocyanins is getting bigger [3]. The acid
condition also causes more and more vacuole cell walls to break so that more anthocyanin pigments
are extracted. The type of acid used is citric acid to extract the skin of red dragon fruit. Citric acid
has advantages over other acids, namely odorless, easy to find, and relatively inexpensive and the
use of distilled water as a solvent will produce an extract without alcohol content so that further
processing towards food will be more acceptable to consumers. Processing of red dragon fruit skin
This is one way of handling dragon fruit peel waste so that it can increase the economic value of
dragon fruit peel and can be used as an alternative to synthetic dyes that are safer for health and
contain high natural anthocyanin dyes.

2. Material and Methods

This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Processing, Faculty of Agriculture,


Warmadewa University, and Analysis Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Warmadewa
University. This research was conducted from May 2020 - July 2020.
The tools used are rotary vacuum evaporator, blender, knife, analytical balance, Uv-Vis
spectrophotometer, glass funnel, beaker glass, Erlenmeyer, measuring cup, test tube, measuring
flask, spatula, measuring pipette, fine filter paper, glass bottle, ball suction, dropper, pH meter. The
materials used were red dragon fruit peel, distilled water, 10% citric acid, pH 1 buffer, pH 4.5 buffer,
and NaOH.
The research design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial pattern with 2
factors, namely 2 (two), namely: Factor I ratio of 10% citric acid solution consisting of 1: 3; 1: 6; 1:
9. The second factor is the length of maceration which consists of 3 days, 3.5 days, 4 days. Each
treatment was repeated 3 times to obtain 27 experimental units. The data from the observations were
analyzed using analysis of variance or ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) with a completely
randomized design method followed by DMRT (Duncan Multiple Range Test) with a confidence
interval of 5%.
The extraction process in this study was carried out using distilled water and 10% citric acid
using the maceration method. The red dragon fruit peel extract is made in several stages, namely, the
red dragon fruit peel is sorted according to uniform size and color, then followed by washing until
all the dirt stuck to the dragon fruit skin is gone, then the skin is cut into 1 x 1 cm size and then
blended. A total of 90 mL of dragon fruit peel samples were weighed and then added with a 10%
citric acid solution with various concentrations of 1: 3, 1: 6, and 1: 9. The next step is maceration
extraction which is done by soaking the skin of the red dragon fruit for 3 days, 3.5 days, and 4 days.
The extraction results obtained are then filtered and then concentrated using a rotary vacuum
evaporator at a temperature of 50˚C at a speed of 80 rpm to reach the desired thickness. The
concentrated extract was then calculated the amount of yield obtained, analyzed the anthocyanin
content contained using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer, the color intensity value with a
colorimeter, and stability tests against pH and temperature.

3. Result and Discussion

3.1 Yield
Based on the analysis of variance, it can be seen that the treatment ratio of 10% citric acid
solvent, maceration time treatment, and the interaction between the two to the yield value is very
significant (p <0.01). The yield of red dragon fruit peel extract with a ratio of 10% citric acid solution
with a long maceration time can be seen in Table 1.
In Table 1 it shows that the highest average yield value of 60.91% is produced by the sample
with the red dragon fruit peel extract sample, the ratio of 10% citric acid solvent (1: 9) with 4 days
of maceration time and has a very significant effect with the ratio of the solvent. citric acid 10% (1:
3) and (1: 6) and not significantly different with the ratio of maceration length of 3 days and 3.5 days.
The more the ratio of 10% citric acid solution is used, the tendency of the pH of the solution will
decrease. This acidic condition causes more and more vacuole walls to break so that the more
anthocyanin pigments are extracted and the longer the maceration time required for the extraction of
red dragon fruit skin, the more anthocyanin pigments are extracted [4]. Meanwhile, the longer the

maceration is used, the more dissolved compounds will also increase. The more compounds
dissolved, the more yield is obtained [5]. The effect of 10% citric acid solution with maceration time
on the yield of red dragon fruit peel extract as shown in Figure 1 shows that the more the ratio of the
10% citric acid solution and the longer the maceration time, the more yield will be produced.

3.2 pH Value
Based on the analysis of variance, it can be seen that the comparative treatment between 10% citric
acid solvent and maceration time has a very significant effect (p <0.01) while the interaction between
the two treatments has no significant effect (p> 0.05) on the value. The pH of the dragon fruit peel
extract was obtained. The pH value from the extraction of red dragon fruit skin can be seen in Table

In Table 2, it is shown that the lowest pH average value of 1.57 was produced by a sample with
a treatment ratio of 10% citric acid solution (1: 9) and 4 days of maceration and this treatment was
significantly different from the ratio of 10% citric acid solvent (1 : 3) and (1: 6). The effect of adding
solvent to the pH value of the red dragon fruit peel extract is shown in Figure 2 and the effect of
maceration time on the pH value is shown in Figure 3. In Figure 2, it can be seen that the higher the
addition of the citric acid solution, the lower the pH value will be. The low pH value of the red dragon
fruit peel extract is needed to increase the stability of the anthocyanin pigments contained in the
extract so that the color becomes brighter. The longer maceration time also results in the red dragon
fruit peel extract having a low pH value. The lower the pH value, the more stable the anthocyanin
will be. Following the opinion of [6] that the addition of citric acid by 5% can increase the yield of
anthocyanin extracts by 15% and reduce the pH so that the anthocyanins in the ingredients are more
stable.

3.3 Anthocyanin Levels


Based on the analysis of variance, it can be seen that the treatment ratio of 10% citric acid
solvent and maceration time to the anthocyanin levels of the red dragon fruit peel extract has a
significant effect (p <0.01). Anthocyanin levels from red dragon fruit peel extract with a comparison
of 10% citric acid solvent and maceration time can be seen in Table 3.

Table 3 shows that the more the ratio of the 10% citric acid solvent used to extract the red dragon
fruit peel the longer it will take to obtain the red dragon fruit peel extract using a rotary vacuum
evaporator so that the absorbance value of the red dragon fruit peel extract is getting higher. time
will decrease because it is not stable for continuous heating. This decrease in absorbance is due to
damage to the pigment chromophore groups which causes color damage. According to [7], stated
that the decrease in color stability due to temperature was thought to be caused by the decomposition
of anthocyanins from the form of aglycones to chalcone (colorless). The lower the absorbance value,
the smaller the anthocyanin levels obtained. Meanwhile, the longer the maceration time, the more
acidic the red dragon fruit peel extract is, which causes the anthocyanin pigment to be more stable in
the 4-day maceration time. The interaction of anthocyanin levels from the red dragon fruit peel
extract, the ratio of 10% citric acid solution to the maceration time can be seen in Figure 4.

3.4.1 Color Intensity L Value * (Brightness Level)


Based on the analysis of variance, it can be seen that the treatment ratio of 10% citric acid
solvent, maceration time, and the interaction between the two treatments has a very significant effect
(p <0.01) on the color intensity of L * can be seen in Table 4.

In Table 4. the color intensity of the L * value of red dragon fruit peel extract obtained is the
lowest in the sample ratio of 10% citric acid solvent with 4 days of maceration, which is 16,54 and
the highest color intensity value in the sample comparison of 10% citric acid solution with a 4 day
maceration time of 36,18. This is because the anthocyanin levels contained in the red dragon fruit
peel extract are the highest so that the resulting brightness level is lower (dark). The results of the
research by [8] show that the more pigment that is extracted causes the color of the extract to be
darker and darker so that the brightness value decreases. The interaction of the color intensity of the
L * value of the red dragon fruit peel extract can be seen in Figure 5.

Based on the analysis of variance, it can be seen that the treatment ratio of 10% citric acid
solvent, the length of maceration time, and the interaction between the two red treatments had a
significant effect (P <0.01) on the color intensity a * of the red dragon fruit peel extract. The color
intensity of the red dragon fruit peel extract at the * value can be seen in Table 5.

Table 5 shows that in samples with a citric acid solvent ratio of 10% (1: 3) and a maceration
time of 4 days the highest a * color intensity is 75.57 and the lowest a * color intensity value in the
sample ratio of 10% citric acid solvent (1: 9) with a 4-day maceration length of 49.18. The color
intensity value a * is directly proportional to the anthocyanin content. The sample with the highest a
* color intensity value also had the highest anthocyanin content, namely 52.27 in the sample with a
citric acid solvent ratio of 10% (1: 3) with a maceration time of 4 days (Table 3). This is by [9[ that
the higher the red color intensity, the higher the anthocyanin levels. The interaction of a * color

These results indicate that the lower the color intensity b *, the bluer it will be. This is in line with
[4], which states that anthocyanins include flavonoid pigments that are red to blue. The interaction

3.5 Stability Test

3.5.1 Effect of pH on Anthocyanin Stability


The degree of acidity (pH) is one of the factors that affect the stability of the red dragon fruit
skin dye. According to [10], the lower the pH value, the more red and stable the color of the
concentrate is, or if the pH is closer to one, the more stable the color. The stability test of the red
dragon fruit peel extract against pH can be seen in Table 7 and the graph of the stability test of the
red dragon fruit peel extract against pH can be seen in Figure 8.

Figure 8. Stability Test Graph of Red Dragon Fruit Skin Extract against pH

Based on Figure 8, it can be seen that as pH increases, the absorbance decreases. At a higher pH
concentration, the anthocyanin color fades because of the red flavilium cation hydrates into colorless
carbinol. This causes anthocyanins to break down easily at high pH conditions [10]. The stability test
of dragon fruit peel extract was most stable at pH 3. Based on the analysis of variance, it can be seen
that the ratio of 10% citric acid solvent, maceration time, and the interaction between the two
treatments had a very significant effect (p <0.01). The stability test at pH 3 can be seen in Table 8.

Based on Table 8, it can be seen that the treatment ratio of 10% citric acid solvent (1: 3) and 4
days of maceration time resulted in the highest absorbance value of 1.728. This is also comparable
to the highest anthocyanin levels obtained in the same treatment at a solvent ratio of 10% citric acid
(1: 3) and 4 days of maceration time (Table 3).

4.5.2 Effect of Temperature on Anthocyanin Stability


Environmental temperature is a factor that determines the stability of anthocyanins. The higher
the heating temperature, the lower the absorbance, or color stability so that the red color will
decrease. The red extract obtained will be reduced [10]. The stability test of the red dragon fruit peel
extract against temperature can be seen in Table 9 and the graph of the stability test of dragon fruit
skinny to temperature can be seen in Figure 9.

Figure 9. Stability Test of Red Dragon Fruit Skin Extract against Temperature

Based on Figure 9, it can be seen that the higher the temperature, the less the absorbance value
obtained. This is due to damage to the pigment chromophore groups which causes discoloration [11].
The decrease in color stability due to the increase in temperature is caused by the decomposition of
anthocyanins from the form of aglycones to colorless chalcones. Dragon fruit peel extract stability
test is most stable at 7 ° C. Based on the analysis of variance, it can be seen that the ratio of 10%
citric acid solvent, maceration time, and the interaction between the two treatments had a very
significant effect (p <0.01). The stability test at 7 ° C can be seen in Table 10.
Based on Table 10. it can be seen that the treatment ratio of 10% citric acid solvent (1: 3) and 4
days of maceration time produces the highest absorbance value of 2.689. This is also comparable to
the highest anthocyanin levels obtained in the same treatment at a solvent ratio of 10% citric acid (1:
3) and 4 days of maceration time (Table 3). The higher the anthocyanin levels in the red dragon fruit
peel extract, the more stable the red dragon fruit peel extract is against temperature.
