Abstract

This study investigated the effect of beetroot powder incorporation on the physicochemical, textural, and sensory properties of sourdough bread as part of efforts to develop nutritionally enhanced bakery products with acceptable quality. Four formulations of composite flour of 300 g were prepared: a control (without beetroot powder) and sourdough breads substituion of beetroot powder of 5, 10, and 15%. The physicochemical and textural characteristics were evaluated using texture profile analysis, including hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, adhesiveness, stiffness, and springiness, while sensory attributes were assessed based on appearance, aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. The results demonstrated that increasing beetroot powder levels significantly affected most textural parameters. The highest values of hardness (254.79 gf), gumminess (57.75), and chewiness (4.51) were observed in bread with substitutuion with beetroot powder of 15%, indicating a denser crumb structure at 15% substitution level. Cohesiveness and stiffness increased with beetroot addition, whereas springiness generally decreased, suggesting a trade-off between structural rigidity and elasticity of the dough. Sensory evaluation revealed that the control bread achieved higher scores across most attributes; however, the bread with beetroot powder substitution of 10% recorded the highest overall acceptability among the beetroot-enriched breads (3.90 ± 0.84). Moderate beetroot incorporation enhanced the visual appeal and flavor balance without masking the characteristic of the sourdough. However, excessive beetroot substitution negatively affected sensory quality due to the dominant earthy flavor and less desirable texture. In conclusion, 10% beetroot powder substitution provides an optimal balance between nutritional enhancement, textural quality, and consumer acceptance, offering valuable insights for the formulation of functional sourdough bread products.

Abstract

Red betel leaf (Piper crocatum) is a plant growing in tropical areas and previously known as an ornamental plant, but then later used as medicinal plant. Previous researches found that red betel leaves contain bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and many more that have potential to be used as antioxidant. The extractions were carried out using variations of solvent types (ethanol, water, and ethyl acetate) and feed to solvent (F:S) ratios in g/ml (F:S=1:20, F:S=1:25, F:S=1:30). The best conditions from this research were the usage of ethanol as the solvent. In addition to its ability to extract the compounds potential as antioxidant and F:S ratio of 1:30, it could give highest yield of extract. Variation of solvent type and variation of F:S have significant effect on the value of antioxidant activity (IC50) of the red betel leaf sample.

Abstract

Edible flower adalah jenis bunga yang aman untuk dikonsumsi. Edible flower kaya akan senyawa bioaktif seperti asam fenolik, karotenoid, dan flavonoid. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dua jenis edible flower, yaitu Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) dan Torenia (Torenia fournieri) guna pengembangannya sebagai produk teh celup. Teh celup bunga Rosella yang sudah dikenal luas digunakan sebagai produk pembanding. Pengolahan teh celup terdiri dari beberapa tahapan yaitu persiapan dan pengeringan edible flower dan proses penyeduhannya. Seduhan teh edible flower kemudian dianalisis total flavonoid, aktivitas antioksidan, dan sifat sensorisnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seduhan teh celup bunga Torenia  mempunyai total fenol dan aktivitas antioksidan paling tinggi, yaitu 58,04 mg QE/g ekstrak dan IC50 9,18 mg/L, disusul oleh seduhan teh celup bunga Nasturtium (45,12 mg WE/g ekstrak dan 11,62 mg/L) dan teh celup bunga Rosella (19,55 mg QE/g ekstrak dan 19,77 mg/L). Seduhan teh bunga Torenia mendapatkan respons sensoris hedonik yang setara dengan seduhan teh bunga Rosella untuk atribut warna, aroma dan rasa, yaitu disukai, tetapi lebih baik untuk atribut keseluruhan (disukai dibanding agak disukai). Sedangkan teh bunga Nasturtium mendapatkan respons sensoris hedonik lebih rendah dari keduanya. Diantara dua teh edible flower yang diuji, teh bunga Torenia lebih berpotensi untuk dikembangkan menjadi teh herbal karena mempunyai respons sensoris setara dengan teh bunga Rosella tetapi mempunyai aktivitas antioksidan yang lebih tinggi.

Abstract

Bananas and apples are fruits that are easily found in Indonesia. Those fruits are sometimes wasted during peak seasons. This research aims to increase the additional value of bananas and apples by using them as a starter for fermented tea drinks. Twenty percent of bananas and apples (1:1 ratio) were immersed in a 5% sucrose solution at room temperature. The solution was stirred daily and harvested after 72 hours of fermentation. Results show that the resulting starter contained 2.9 x 1011 CFU/ml lactic acid bacteria with 83 + 9.5% lactic acid content and a total of 1.7 x 1012 CFU/ml microbes. The pH of the starter was 3.7 + 0.1. Microscopic observations show that most microorganisms were yeast and  Gram-positive bacteria (rod and sphere). The starter was then diluted into tea drinks sweetened by glucose 10% with four types of dilution ratios, namely a ratio of 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, and 1:20 (tea: starter). The organoleptic tests on 20 untrained panelists showed that the most preferred tea was the one with 15 times dilution in terms of taste, aroma, and color. The number of lactic acid bacteria in fermented tea with a 1:15 ratio still met the requirements of a probiotic drink.

Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of botanical water from various raisin varieties on the sensory and textural qualities of sourdough bread. Black, green, and yellow raisins were used to make botanical water, which was then used as a natural fermentation medium. Conventional sourdough was used as the control. Hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness, fracture force, adhesiveness, and stiffness were all measured by texture analysis. Fifty-five untrained panelists used a five-point hedonic scale to rate sensory acceptance. Significant differences were noted in hardness, springiness, gumminess, and stiffness; however, other textural parameters showed no significant variation. Hardness, gumminess, springiness, and stiffness values were highest in sourdough made with yellow raisin botanical water, while the control had the lowest hardness. The sourdough samples stayed within the acceptable range in the sensory evaluation, but the control sample scored highest for color, texture, and overall acceptability. Among the botanical water treatments, green raisin sourdough was the most well-liked. According to the findings, raisin botanical water has an impact on bread structure and fermentation behavior, resulting in quantifiable texture changes and mild variations in sensory perception. Therefore, it is possible to use botanical water from raisins as a natural fermentation medium for making sourdough bread without experiencing severe sensory rejection.
