Abstract

This research aims to study the effect of drying temperatures (50, 60 and 70 ºC) on drying rate, physical and antioxidative properties of hot-air dried Sesbania (Sesbania javanica Mig.) flowers. The fresh Sesbania flowers contained phenolic compounds, tannin, and antioxidative properties. When the drying temperature rose from 50 to 70 ºC, drying rate increased from 0.023 to 0.049 g/ min, whereas the moisture content, water activity, lightness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness (b*) of dried Sesbania flowers significantly decreased (p < 0.05). The total phenol content of dried Sesbania flowers remained 17 - 24 % compared to the fresh Sesbania flowers. In addition, the active ingredients and antioxidant activity of Sesbania flowers dried at 70 ºC were the highest value (p < 0.05). The total phenol and tannin contents of Sesbania flowers dried at 70 ºC were 366.89 mg gallic acid equivalent, and 714.29 mg tannic acid equivalent/ 100 g (dry basis), followed by Sesbania flowers dried at 60 and 50 ºC, respectively. In conclusion, Sesbania flower has the potential to develop into a health food product due to a high of biological active ingredients and antioxidant activity.
