Key Points

To evaluate the physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, sensory profile, safety, and shelf-life stability of seaweed beverage powders formulated with dragon fruit peel or sweet orange.
Formulated powders by combining seaweed with dragon fruit peel or sweet orange at ratios of 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3 (w/w).
Assessed solubility, moisture, ash, phytochemicals, DPPH antioxidant capacity, sensory traits, vitamin C, and heavy metals (Pb, Cu, As) on leading formulations (F3 and F6).
Modeled shelf-life stability using Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing (ASLT) with the Arrhenius equation at 10 °C, 27 °C, and 35 °C.
Higher fruit ratios enhanced antioxidant activity and sensory scores, with the 1:3 seaweed-sweet orange powder (F6) yielding the highest overall antioxidant activity and vitamin C content.
Formulation F6 achieved favorable consumer acceptance and maintained heavy metal concentrations (Pb, Cu, and As) within regulatory food safety thresholds.
Accelerated shelf-life testing revealed that storage temperature significantly affected powder stability over time.
