<![CDATA[ABSTRAK: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perbandingan sirup sukrosa dan glukosa serta konsentrasi temulawak yang digunakan terhadap karakteristik hard candy temulawak. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan dua variabel. Variabel A adalah perbandingan sukrosa dan glukosa dengan 4 perbandingan (65% : 35%), (60% : 40%), (55% : 45%), (50% : 50%) dan variabel B adalah konsentrasi temulawak (2% dan 3%). Data dianalisis secara statistik menggunakan ANOVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rasio terbaik adalah konsentrasi sukrosa 55% dan glukosa 45% dengan penambahan ekstrak temulawak sebesar 2%. Kriteria terbaik permen keras temulawak yang dihasilkan adalah kadar air 3,13%, kadar abu 0,16%, kadar gula reduksi 17,83%, kandungan kurkuminoid 55,12 ppm dengan karakteristik sensoris warna kuning jernih, rasa manis dan aroma temulawak yang kuat.ABSTRACT: This study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of sucrose and glucose syrup and the concentration of temulawak used on the characteristics of temulawak hard candy. This study used a completely randomized design with two variables. variable A is the ratio of sucrose and glucose with 4 ratios (65% sucrose: 35% glucose syrup), (60% sucrose: 40% glucose syrup), (55% sucrose: 45% glucose syrup), (50% Sucrose: Glucose syrup) 50%) and variable B is the concentration of ginger (2% and 3%). Data were analyzed statistically using ANOVA. The results showed that the best ratio was the concentration of sucrose 55% and glucose 45% with the addition of 2% temulawak extract. The best criteria for the hard candy of temulawak are water content of 3.128%, ash content of 0.1625%, reducing sugar content of 17.83%, curcuminoid content 55,12 ppm with sensory characteristics of clear yellow color, sweet taste and strong aroma of temulawak.]]>
