Abstract

Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) is one of Indonesia's commodities widely consumed and developed nowadays. Dragon fruit or pitaya is a non-local fruit that is much favored by the public because it has efficacy, benefits, and high nutritional value. The most well-known efficacy of dragon fruit is its antioxidant content. This article aims to explain the characteristics and postharvest handling of dragon fruit. Dragon fruit can be consumed directly or processed into juice, jam, syrup, and other products. These preparations of processed dragon fruit have a by-product, namely dragon fruit peel, that has not been used optimally. Dragon fruit peel is 22% compared to whole fruit and contains the most polyphenols, a source of antioxidants. Furthermore, every 100 g of dragon fruit peel contains 150.46 mg of betacyanin pigment. Dragon fruit peel also contains vitamins C, E, and A, alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, thiamine, niacin, pyridoxine, cobalamin, phenolic, carotene, and Phyto albumin. Dragon fruit is a non-climacteric fruit, so it must be harvested at the right level of maturity. Dragon fruit is harvested 28 to 30 after the flowers bloom. After harvesting, the dragon fruit is sorted by color and shape, followed by cleaning, grading, labeling, and distributing. Currently, several technologies can extend the shelf life of dragon fruit, such as coating it with wax or cassava starch and applying the Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP).
