Red dragon fruit is the type of dragon fruit that is most in demand by consumers because it is more nutritious for the health of the body. The production of red dragon fruit every season is always abundant. However, fresh dragon fruit cannot be stored for long, because it has a high moisture content of 90%. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out further processing so that nutritional needs can be maintained and extend the shelf life by making instant drink powder using the foam mat drying method. This study used the Split Plot Design method with the basic design of RAK (Randomized Block Design) which was repeated 3 times, with drying temperature treatment as the main plot consisting of 3 levels, namely 40°C, 50°C, 60° C and treatment with maltodextrin concentration as sub-plots consisting of 3 levels, namely 10%, 15%, 20%. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance and then continued with the Honest Significant Difference (BNJ) test at a 5% level and the hedonic scale organoleptic test. The results showed that the highest value of the solubility parameter was 68.68%, water content 8.08%, vitamin C 11.11%, color organoleptic 4.10, taste organoleptic 3.90, aroma organoleptic 3.67.

Aloe vera skin tea is an herbal tea made from the waste of the aloe vera plant, it tastes bitter, and the unpleasant scent makes this tea less desirable. Therefore, other additives such as pineapple are needed which have a sweet and fresh taste and a strong scent so that they can mask the taste and scent of the aloe vera skin. In addition, pineapple also contains vitamin C which is efficacious as an antioxidant. Seeing the excellent benefits of the two, then the two can be combined into a product, namely aloe vera skin – pineapple tea which is expected to be able to add flavor and nutritional content. This study was conducted using a factorial Randomized Group Design (RAK) with the first factor, namely the ratio of aloe vera and pineapple skin consisting of 3 treatment levels, namely: (25%:75%, 50%:50%, and 75%:25%) and the second factor is the drying time (6, 8, and 10 hours). The data were analyzed using ANOVA then followed by the Honest Significant Difference (BNJ) test at a 5% level and a hedonic scale organoleptic test. The results showed that the highest values of water content parameters were 21,04%, vitamin C 5,28%, antioxidant activity 124,47 µg/ml, aroma organoleptic 3.63, and taste organoleptic 3.43.
