ABSTRAK

Ekstrak mengkudu (Morinda citrifolia) mempunyai kesan yang baik terhadap kesihatan. Namun begitu, pengambilannya masih terhad kerana rasa masam serta bau ekstrak mengkudu yang tidak digemari oleh pengguna. Penggunaan kaedah penyahasidan dan penambahan bahan perisa dilihat dapat mengurangkan rasa masam buah mengkudu tetapi kesan kepada ciri-ciri antioksidan masih tidak diketahui. Oleh itu, kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk menentukan kesan penyahasidan dan penambahan 0, 4 dan 8% perisa lemon terhadap ciri antioksidan ekstrak mengkudu. Analisis yang dijalankan ke atas ekstrak mengkudu adalah penilaian nilai pH, ujian jumlah kandungan fenol (TPC), ujian penangkapan radikal bebas (DPPH) dan ujian kuasa penurunan ferik (FRAP). Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa nilai pH meningkat secara signifikan (p<0.05) setelah dinyahasid. Manakala, nilai TPC, DPPH dan FRAP ekstrak mengkudu pula menurun secara signifikan (p<0.05) setelah dinyahasid. Penambahan bahan perisa lemon ke dalam sampel ekstrak mengkudu ternyahasid, tidak memberikan perubahan signifikan pada nilai pH, TPC, DPPH dan FRAP. Secara keseluruhannya, rawatan penyahasidan membantu mengurangkan keasidan ekstrak mengkudu tetapi penambahan bahan perisa lemon tidak memberikan kesan signifikan kepada ciri antioksida ekstrak mengkudu.

ABSTRACT

Noni extract (Morinda citrifolia) has been shown to have beneficial health effect. However, the consumption of noni extract is still limited due to the sour taste and less desired odour among the consumers. Use of deacidification and flavor addition might reduce the sour taste of noni but its effect on the antioxidative properties are not known. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the effect of deacidification process and addition of 0, 4 and 8% of lemon flavoring agent on the antioxidant characteristics of noni extract. The analyses conducted on noni extract were pH value, total phenolic content (TPC), free radical scavenging ability (DPPH) and ferric reducing power (FRAP). Results showed that pH values increased significantly (p<0.05) after deacidification, whereas the TPC, DPPH and FRAP of noni extract decreased significantly (p<0.05) after deacidification. The addition of flavoring to deacidified noni extract samples did not produce any significant effect on pH, TPC, DPPH, and FRAP. In general, deacidification method helps in reducing the acidity of noni extract but addition of lemon flavor did not showed any significant effect on the antioxidant characteristic of noni extract.
