Abstract

Red palm oil (RPO)-based oleogel had potential as a substitute for cocoa butter substitute (CBS) in the manufacture of chocolate confectionery. This study aimed to obtain the optimum formula of chocolate confectionery with RPO-based oleogel and determine the physicochemical characteristics, sensory profile and hedonic rating, nutrition facts, and contribution to meet the vitamin A requirement. The methods used were: (1) manufacture and characterization of RPO-based oleogel, (2) optimization formulas of chocolate confectionery with RPO-based oleogel by D-optimal mixture design, and (3) characterization of chocolate confectionery with RPO-based oleogel. The result showed that RPO-based oleogel had a high carotenoid content of 545.87±3.39 mg/kg and slip melting point of 46.67‒47.83°C. The optimum formula was 17.780% CBS, 13.880% RPO-based oleogel, and 3.340% stearin which had a texture of 1861.49 gf and total carotenoids of 207.861 mg/kg. The sensory profile of chocolate confectionery with RPO-based oleogel based on the RATA method was yellow color; sweet, milk, fatty, and vanilla flavor; sweet, bitter, and fatty aftertaste; hard texture; melted, sandy, and sticky mouthfeel. The score of children panelists’ liking was 4.52 (liked extremely). One serving size of this product fulfilled 12% of the daily vitamin A requirement from the total requirement of 600 RE.

Abstract

Using oil palm trunk sap as a raw material for brown sugar is an innovative alternative for local product diversification. However, craftsmen's limited access to laboratory analysis methods is challenging to maintain product quality consistency. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with chemometric modelling for the estimation of sucrose, glucose, and fructose content in brown sugar derived from oil palm trunk sap. This method combines destructive analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as a reference with non-destructive NIRS analysis and partial least squares regression (PLSR) modelling. The prediction model performed very well for glucose with an R² of 0.991, while for sucrose it was 0.850 and fructose 0.860. However, the relatively high values of SEC and SEP and the low prediction consistency (<20%) indicate that the current chemometric strategy is not yet fully adequate, suggesting the need for a larger and more process-representative sample set, more rigorous consideration of sample representativeness and laboratory reference uncertainty (SEL), and the inclusion of laboratory reference error (SEL) from HPLC data to enable more robust and reliable model development. These findings indicate that NIRS has potential as a fast and non-destructive method for brown sugar quality control, but further development is needed to make the model more reliable under various production conditions.
