Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of substituting composite flour made from modified jackfruit seed starch and rice bran flour on the dietary fiber content and antioxidant activity of dried noodle products. Jackfruit seed starch was modified using the autoclaving-cooling method, a physical technique designed to enhance the functional properties of starch, such as thermal stability, resistance to digestion, and increased resistant starch content. On the other hand, rice bran flour was utilized as a source of insoluble fiber and bioactive compounds such as γ-oryzanol and phenolic acids, which are known for their antioxidant properties. The two ingredients were combined in a 1:1 ratio to produce composite flour, which was then substituted into the noodle formulation at levels of 5%, 10%, and 15% of the total flour used. The final noodle products were analyzed for insoluble, soluble, and total dietary fiber content using a multi-enzyme method, as well as antioxidant activity using the DPPH assay. The results indicated a significant increase (p<0.05) in dietary fiber content and antioxidant activity with higher substitution levels. The 15% substitution treatment yielded the best results, with total dietary fiber content of 6.86% and antioxidant activity of 33.70%. This study demonstrates that the combination of modified jackfruit seed starch and rice bran flour holds great potential as a sustainable and nutritious functional ingredient in healthier dried noodle formulations.

Abstract

Dental caries is a chronic infectious disease that remains a major global health problem, primarily caused by Streptococcus mutans, a bacterium capable of forming dental biofilms. Preventive strategies can be developed through the use of natural non-cariogenic agents such as erythritol which exhibits anti-biofilm properties and licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.), which contains antibacterial compounds including flavonoids and saponins. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial potential of erythritol candy supplemented with licorice root extract against Streptococcus mutans. The study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four treatments with different concentrations of licorice root extract (0%, 2%, 3%, and 5%), along with a positive control (ampicillin) and a negative control (distilled water). Antibacterial activity was assessed using the well diffusion method and the inhibition zone diameters were analyzed statistically using Kruskal–Wallis test. The results showed that increasing the concentration of licorice root extract tended to enhance antibacterial activity with inhibition zones ranging from 1.00 ± 0.70 mm (2%) to 3.25 ± 1.76 mm (5%), although the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). In conclusion, erythritol candy containing licorice root extract demonstrated potential antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans, although the effect was relatively weak. Further studies are recommended to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), evaluate anti-biofilm activity, and conduct in vivo testing to confirm its effectiveness under physiological conditions.
