Development Of Betacyanin Pigment Extract And Microencapsulated Powder From Red Pitaya Fruit (Hylocereus Polyrhizus)

Betacyanin pigments from red pitaya fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) could be an attractive source of natural red colourant for food application. The extraction of betacyanin pigment was extracted from the flesh and peels of red pitaya fruits grown locally in Malaysia by using acetone, methanol and wat...
