| Abstract: | In this research, Soxhlet extractor
was used to extract Vitamin C from red pitaya.
The effects of different drying temperature, and
solvent polarity on the yields of Vitamin C were
investigated. The drying temperatures used were
350C, 500C, 600C and 700C. The solvents used
were methanol, ethanol, hexane and toluene. The
obtained extracts were analyzed using High
Performance Liquid Chromatography and
Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometer. It was
found that drying temperature of 600C with
methanol as solvent give the highest yields of
Vitamin C which was 3.52 mg/L and 61.67% of
antioxidant activity. |
