Coriander is one of the natural antioxidant sources that can be used as chelating agent of heavy metals, such as lead (Pb) due to the presence of its phenolic compounds. However, the coriander has only been used as one of the spices on some dishes, and the other potential benefits have not been widely explored. Therefore, the processing of coriander leaves into a ready-to-drink (RTD) powdered beverage would be one of the ways to utilize the coriander. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of drying temperature and maltodextrin concentration on product quality of powder drink. This study applied a complete randomized design of factorial pattern with two factors. The first factor was the drying temperature of 40oC, 50oC, and 60oC, while the second factor was the addition of maltodextrin as filler with the concentration of 5%, 10%, and 15%. The optimum treatment was observed at drying temperature of 40oC with maltodextrin concentration of 15%, yielding powder drink with water content of 4.19%; solubility of 89.92%; total phenol of 131.93 mg TAE/g; primary antioxidant activity of 47.05%; secondary antioxidant activity of 79.30%; and Pb reduction ability of 95.36%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
