Abstract

This research investigates the influence of various carbon sources (cane sugar, honey, palm sugar) and fermentation durations (7, 10, 13 days) on the chemical profile of a functional drink, kombucha, made from pineapple-fermented cascara. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors was conducted to analyze the interaction between two variables. Analyzed parameters include antioxidant activity, total phenolic content (TPC), total titratable acidity (TTA), total sugar, and total dissolved solids. The results reveal that palm sugar combined with a 10-day fermentation period yields the highest antioxidant activity (326.78 mg AAE/L) and TPC (848.76 mg GAE/L). SCOBY microbial metabolism demonstrated significant efficiency, Total titratable acidity (TTA) increased during fermentation, particularly in the sucrose treatment, from 1.92% to 3.33%. In contrast, total sugar decreased from 27.29% to 17.15%. Total soluble solids (TSS) fluctuated during fermentation, with the highest value observed in the palm sugar treatment fermented for 10 days at 13.67°Brix. This research highlights an innovative way to valorise coffee cherry waste into a health-promoting drink by enhancing its flavour through natural fruit fermentation.

Abstract

Fruit leather is a semi-moist, fruit-based food product in the form of thin, rollable sheets, produced through the drying of fruit pulp or juice. The use of kecombrang and soursop fruits with the addition of hydrocolloids is expected to enhance the functional value while improving the texture of fruit leather. This study aims to determine the effect of the proportions of kecombrang and soursop juices with the addition of hydrocolloids on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of fruit leather. This study used a two factor Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with two replicates. Factor I was the ratio of kecombrang and soursop juices (70:30, 60:40, and 50:50), while Factor II was the addition of hydrocolloids (1% CMC, 0.3% ?-carrageenan, and 1.5% gum arabic). The results of this study show that the proportions of kecombrang and soursop juices with the addition of hydrocolloids, affect the physicochemical characteristics of fruit leather. The best treatment analysis was conducted by assigning the highest weight to tensile strength and the highest level of panelist acceptance of the fruit leather’s texture. The best treatment was obtained with a 60:40 ratio of kecombrang and soursop juice with the addition of 1% CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose).
