Abstract

Fresh noodles are widely consumed food products; however, their production commonly involves synthetic additives, including artificial colorants, which may pose potential health risks. Therefore, natural ingredients are needed as safer alternatives, one of which is pandan leaf extract, known for its natural green color and distinctive aroma. This study aimed to analyze the effect of pandan leaf extract substitution on the sensory quality of fresh noodles, including color, aroma, texture, resistance to breakage, and taste. An experimental method was applied using two treatments: 150 mL of water as the control treatment (X₁) and 150 mL of pandan leaf extract as the substitution treatment (X₂). Organoleptic evaluation was conducted by 30 panelists using a sensory assessment scale covering color, aroma, texture, and taste attributes. The collected data were analyzed using a pooled variance t-test, also referred to as an independent samples t-test, with SPSS version 22. The findings indicate that pandan leaf extract substitution had a significant effect on all sensory attributes of fresh noodles. Treatment X₂ obtained the highest mean scores across all assessed parameters, including color (5.36; light green), aroma (5.70; highly fragrant), chewy texture (5.17), resistance to breakage (5.00), and taste (5.04; savory). These results demonstrate that pandan leaf extract can improve the sensory quality of fresh noodles while functioning as a natural colorant and aroma-enhancing ingredient. The study concludes that substituting 150 mL of pandan leaf extract produces better overall sensory quality in fresh noodles and may support the development of food products using natural ingredients.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of form innovation of Lamang Tungkek on panelists’ preference levels using a hedonic test. The research involved one control sample and three innovative samples, which were evaluated by 24 panelists. The sensory attributes assessed included shape, color, texture, aroma, and taste. The data were analyzed descriptively based on the mean values of the hedonic test. The results showed that sample 234 consistently achieved the highest mean preference scores across most sensory attributes. Variations in hedonic test values indicated differences in panelists’ acceptance of the Lamang Tungkek form innovations. Form innovation primarily influenced panelists’ perception of texture, while the other sensory attributes remained generally well accepted. It can be concluded that the form innovation of Lamang Tungkek has the potential to enhance panelists’ acceptance without diminishing the product’s sensory characteristics. Sample 234 shows strong potential for further development as a traditional food product that is adaptive to modern consumer preferences.Keywords: Lamang Tungkek, Form Innovation, Hedonic Test, Sensory Evaluation.

Abstract

Fettuccine pasta is a widely consumed food product due to its distinctive flavor and high carbohydrate content. However, pasta products generally have relatively low levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, necessitating innovation through the use of highly nutritious local ingredients. One potential ingredient is Moringa oleifera (moringa) leaf extract, which is rich in vitamins, minerals, protein, and antioxidant compounds. This study aimed to analyze the effect of substituting moringa leaf extract on the sensory quality of fettuccine pasta, specifically regarding shape, color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. An experimental method was employed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a single factor—the concentration of moringa leaf extract substitution—comprising two treatments replicated three times. Sensory quality was assessed via organoleptic testing with 30 untrained panelists, and data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The results indicated that the substitution of moringa leaf extract significantly influenced the shape, color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptability of the fettuccine pasta. Higher concentrations of moringa leaf extract resulted in a more intense green color; however, at certain concentrations, the aroma, taste, texture, and level of acceptability remained acceptable to the panelists. Based on the findings, the formulation with the optimal concentration of moringa leaf extract produced fettuccine pasta with favorable sensory characteristics, showing potential for development as a more nutritious functional food product that is competitive as a natural-ingredient-based food innovation.
