Aishah Bujang1, Zati Alyani Othman2, Nor Farahin Md Ismail3.
This study focus on the stability of natural pigment from Melastoma malabathricum fruit in
pink guava juice at 30°C and 60°C storage temperature. Analysis on the content of vitamin
C, total phenolic content, lycopene, anthocyanin and color were conducted for 30 days. In
general, the results showed higher reduction in all quality parameters at higher storage
temperature. Freshly made PGJ contains 86.55±5.18 mg/100mL of vitamin C, 5.36±0.27 mg/L
of lycopene, 933.50± 60.11 mgGAE/L of total phenolic content (TPC) and 1.36±0.32 mg/L of
total monomeric anthocyanin. At day 30 of storage, vitamin C was reduced to 56.4% and
9.4% at 30oC and 60oC respectively. Total monomeric anthocyanins content was reduced to
38.2% and 7.2% at 30oC and 60°C respectively. Total phenolic content remained at day 30
was 12.1% and 7.5% at 30oC and 60oC respectively. While lycopene was found to be least
affected by storage temperature compared to other quality attributes analyzed. The total
color difference was increased drastically at 60oC between days 0 to 5 while linear increase
was observed at 30oC storage. These studies provide useful information on the availability of
the health beneficial compounds in fruit juice as well as their stability as natural food
colourant during storage.
