Potential halal food colorants and active pharmaceutical ingredients in 24 Malaysian traditional vegetables (ulam)

Synergistic combination of two National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) in healthcare and agricultural sectors counts for promoting extensive exploitation of Malaysia’s mega-biodiversity to develop pharmaceuticals and related products from natural resources. Additionally, it is noted that nowadays hala...

In this study, we established quantification of a group of plant pigments which are potentially to be introduced as halal active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and natural food colorants from 24 species of local traditional vegetables (ulam), identified as neoxanthin, violaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, α-carotene and β-carotene.

Results obtained shown that Sauropus androgynus contained highest amount of neoxanthin, violaxanthin and β- cryptoxanthin at 142.40 ± 3.57, 28.06 ± 0.65 and 0.07 ± 0.00 mg/g DW, respectively. Highest accumulation of lutein and α-carotene were observed in Centella asiatica at 16.53 ± 0.97 and 2.14 ± 0.12 mg/g DW accordingly. Piper sarmentosum accumulated high zeaxanthin content (123.45 ± 12.3 mg/g DW) whereas Oenanthe javanica has the largest amount of β-carotene (3.09 ± 0.06 mg/g DW). The extracted yellow-to-red pigments can be further commercialised especially in the halal market for pharmaceutical and coloring products. The significant outcome of this research will be new dicoveries of natural resources for food colorant and API which covers not only the shariah requirement, but also the hygiene, sanitation and safety aspects. 2014-05 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/37967/1/37967.pdf Othman, Rashidi and Mohd Zaifuddin, Fatimah Azzahra and Mohd Hassan, Norazian (2014) Potential halal food colorants and active pharmaceutical ingredients in 24 Malaysian traditional vegetables (ulam).
