ii and potential to be applied as natural food colorant. These pigments can be extracted and used in the form of liquid, paste, or powder. The powder one has advantages such as good stability, solubility, and low moisture content which prolongs its shelf life. The purpose of this research is to produce red beet powder by understanding the influence of using microencapsulating agents (gum arabic, and maltodextrin 10DE) with different concentrations in red beet powder’s characteristics as food colorant that made using spray drying method. In this research, spray dryer was operated at 150°C inlet temperature and 90°C outlet temperature. Gum arabic, and maltodextrin 10DE were added as microencapsulating agents. There were 2 different treatments for each microencapsulating agent which are A (40 % CA) and B (60 % CA). Then the red beet powder was chemically and physically analyzed. The chemical analysis includes moisture content and antioxidant activity. While physical analysis includes bulk density, wettability, and color intensity. Maltodextrin treatments tend to produce higher yield, antioxidant activity (% inhibition), bulk density, and color intensity (a* value) than gum arabic ones. Maltodextrin treatments also tend to produce lower moisture content and faster time of wettability than gum arabic ones. Red beet powder made with 60% maltodextrin as microencapsulating agent, gives the highest yield (36,01 ± 4,33%) and antioxidant activity (% inhibition) (86,08 ± 1,58%), lowest reduction percentage of antioxidant activity (% inhibition) (1,69%), fastest time of wettability (66,44 ± 6,23 seconds), and high a* value (30,43 ± 1,51) which shows good red color as natural food colorant.

RINGKASAN
Bit merah ( Beta vulgaris L) telah digunakan secara luas sebagai campuran dalam bahan pangan karena manfaat kesehatan dan warna merah keunguan yang dimilikinya. Bit merah merupakan sumber yang potensial dari pigmen betalain, dengan komponen utama yaitu betanidin 5-O-beta-glukosa yang merupakan antioksidan yang dapat larut dalam air. Pigmen betalain memegang peranan penting dalam pembentukan warna merah keunguan pada bit merah, dan menjadikan bit merah berpotensi diaplikasikan sebagai pewarna makanan alami. Pigmen tersebut dapat diesktrak dan digunakan dalam bentuk cair, pasta, atau serbuk. Serbuk bit merah memiliki keunggulan yaitu memiliki stabilitas dan kelarutan yang baik, dan kadar air yang rendah sehingga memiliki umur simpan yang panjang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memproduksi serbuk bit merah, dengan memahami pengaruh penggunaan agen mikroenkapsulasi (gum arab, maltodekstrin DE10) dengan konsentrasi yang berbeda pada karakteristik serbuk bit merah sebagai pewarna makanan, yang dibuat dengan metode pengeringan semprot. Pada penelitian ini, spray dryer dioperasikan menggunakan 150°C suhu inlet dan 90°C suhu outlet. Gum arab, dan maltodekstrin DE10 ditambahkan sebagai agen mikroenkapsulasi. Ada 2 perlakuan yang digunakan untuk setiap agen mikroenkapsulasi yaitu A (40 %) and B (60 %). Selanjutnya serbuk bit merah dianalisa secara kimia dan fisika. Analisa kimia meliputi kadar air dan aktivitas antioksidan. Sedangkan analisa fisik meliputi bulk density,
kemampuan pembasahan, dan intensitas warna. Perlakuan dengan maltodekstrin cenderung menghasilkan serbuk bit merah dengan rendemen, aktivitas antioksidan, dan intensitas warna yang lebih tinggi daripada perlakuan menggunakan gum arab. Perlakuan dengan maltodekstrin juga cenderung menghasilkan kadar air yang lebih rendah, dan waktu kemampuan pembasahan yang lebih cepat. Serbuk bit merah yang dibuat dengan 60% maltodekstrin sebagai agen mikroenkapsulasi, menghasilkan rendemen tertinggi (36,01 ± 4,33%), aktivitas antioksidan tertinggi (86,08 ± 1,58%), persentase penurunan aktivitas antioksidan terendah (1,69%), waktu kemampuan pembasahan paling cepat (66,44 ± 6,23 detik), dan nilai a* yang tinggi (30,43 ± 1,51) yang menunjukkan warna merah yang baik sebagai pewarna makanan.
