Abstract

The imbalanced food supply in Indonesia has posed a significant challenge. The utilization of canna (Canna Edulis) starch can act as a potential solution, enabling society to consume a more diverse variety of commodities rather than relying solely on rice. Canna, an underutilized tuber, is rich in resistant starch and bioactive compounds, showing potential in tackling dietary and health issues. Despite its high glycemic index, efforts to modify canna starch into resistant starch aim to enhance its health benefits by improving blood sugar control and gut health. This paper aims to introduce ganyong (Canna edulis) starch as a versatile alternative to rice or wheat for carbohydrates, which also highlights the urgent need to address and prevent the high prevalence of colorectal cancer in society by the role of bioactivity and mechanisms of action of canna starch. The applications of canna starch in the food industry such as ginger bangket biscuits, cendol, and cookies, is discussed to highlight its potential as a substitute for traditional starch sources, along with its sensory attributes. Although limitations are acknowledged, continued research and development in processing techniques are essential to unlock the full potential of canna starch and its application in addressing food security and health challenges.

Abstract

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is a round-shaped cereal grain varied in colors and sizes and is part of the Poaceae family alongside sorghum and maize. It is one of the most extensively cultivated crops in Asia and Africa, as well as in several other developing countries. In 2014 alone, Asia and Africa produced 95% of the total global foxtail millet yield. Foxtail Millet itself is a good source of bioactive compounds such as minerals, phenolic compounds, amino acids, dietary fibers, carotenoids, sterols, unsaturated fatty acids, phytic acids, tocols, and anti-nutritive compounds. Due to these reasons, foxtail millet has several health benefits such as antioxidant activity, anti-hyperglycemic effects, anti-cholesterol effects, anti-hypertensive effects, and anthropometric effects. It has been mentioned that fox millet contains antioxidants, metal chelators, and reductants in the soluble and insoluble phenolic extracts which are beneficial as natural antioxidant sources. In animals, foxtail millet has also been proven to be safe and its benefit has been proven, specifically in terms of its gastroprotective effect. However, foxtail millet might cause an allergic reaction in humans due to cross-reactivity among different grains. Hence, the safety and efficacy of foxtail millet should be studied further. However, potentially, foxtail millet could be incorporated into a variety of aspects of the food industry. One of the functions is that it can be used to incorporate the flour in order to increase the nutritional properties, such as the mineral and fiber content of the flour itself.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the nutrient profiling profile of snack bars according to Indonesian healthier choice criteria for healthier choice. Snack bars were purchased and classified into soy-, cereal-, and other -based snack bars. Nutritional information were was compared with the healthier choice criteria. Soy-based snack bars had the highest protein content (20.94±6.12 g/100 g) compared to others-based snack bars (11.21±5.13 g/100 g) and cereal-based snack bars (8.36±3.55 g/100 g) with p<0.001. Others-based snack bars (15.30±5.54 g/100 g) had the highest dietary fiber content compared to soy-based (8.91±2.11 g/100 g) and cereal-based snack bars (7.06±3.26 g/100 g) with p<0.001. Only two snack bars passed the criteria as “healthier choice” while others need to be reformulated to pass the criteria.
