Abstract

Purple yam tuber is known to contain a lot of bioactive components useful for human health. This study was conducted to utilize the tuber in form of purple yam flour for crackers processing and to understand the effect of purple yam flour concentration on the characteristics of crackers.  A completely randomized design was applied using several concentrations of purple yam flour (0, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) and 3 replications. The concentration of purple yam flour affects volume expansion, color values (L*, a*, and b*) and anthocyanin content of the crackers, but did not affect its water content and texture. The higher concentration of purple yam flour decreased volume expansion, L*, b*, and overall acceptance of the crackers, but increased the anthocyanin content and a* values.  This research proposes that 30% purple yam flour shall be applied to partly substitute wheat flour in crackers processing.  At this concentration, crackers were accepted by the panelist (like it slightly) and has hardness value 287.2 gF, L* 70.35, a* 11.12, b* 20.18, 2.5% water, and anthocyanin content 179.6 mg cyanidin3-glucoside equivalent/g.

Abstract

Edible films are thin layers used to coat food products and can be consumed along with the product itself. Previous studies have utilized purple yam starch as a base material for edible films; however, these films exhibit limitations in terms of mechanical and barrier properties. This study aims to utilize purple yam mucilage to improve the mechanical and barrier properties of purple yam starch-based edible films.  The experimental design employed a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five ratios of water to purple yam mucilage (1:0.5, 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, and 1:2.5). The results showed that increasing the proportion of purple yam mucilage improved the mechanical and barrier properties of the edible films, while reducing their solubility in water to as low as 33.23%.  The best film characteristics were achieved at a ratio of 1:2.5, with a thickness of 0.14 mm, a compressive strength of 3.73 × 10⁻⁴ MPa, a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of 21.94 g/m²·day, a transparency value of 8.33 %T/mm, and a solubility of 33.23%.
