Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA) students demonstrated food and non-food uses of the Butterfly Pea flower, also known as the Asian Pigeonwings during the Product Innovation Event held at the UNISSA Sinaut Campus yesterday, organised in conjunction with the university’s 13th Mahrajan Hafl Al-Takharruj ceremony.
The students from the UNISSA Faculty of Agriculture presented an array of food products which included powders, syrups, jellies and nasi kerabu.
Meanwhile, Halalan Thayyiban Research Centre’s students showcased the creation of bar soap with the flower, using a mixture of olive coconut, and palm oil.
The students also showcased extraction techniques and the flower dehydration process which amplifies colour vibrancy of the material.
