Abstract

Sheet jam is one of the processed products from pineapple puree. Sliced pineapple jam is a modified product of conventional jam products which generally has to be smeared before use, so it is considered impractical. Sheet jam has a denser texture, is not sticky and does not break when folded. Hence, the correct hydrocolloid ratio and concentration affect the characteristics of the sheet jam produced. This study aimed to determine ratios (1:0, 0:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2) and concentrations (1%; 1.25%; 1.5%; 1.75%) konjac with carrageenan on the physicochemical characteristics of sliced pineapple jam. The combination of konjac and carrageenan, at a ratio of 2:1 at a concentration of 1%, is the best ratio and concentration in producing pineapple jam. These sheet pineapple jams have hardness and cohesiveness values of 2337.44 ± 218.612 and 0.80 ± 0.04, respectively. This sheet of pineapple jam has a pH value of 3.73 ± 0.01, so it is included in high-acid food products and has total dissolved solids of 28.70 ± 0.01°Brix. Pineapple jam made with a combination of konjac-carrageenan at a concentration of 1% and a ratio of 2:1 has a yellow colour (80.85 ± 4.60) and a lightness of 46.09 ± 2.80.Bahasa Indonesia Abstract:Selai lembaran merupakan salah satu produk olahan dari puree nanas. Selai nanas lembaran merupakan produk modifikasi dari produk selai konvesional yang umumnya harus dioles ketika akan digunakan sehingga dianggap kurang praktis. Selai lembaran memiliki tekstur yang lebih padat, tidak lengket serta tidak mudah patah ketika dilipat sehingga rasio dan konsentrasi hidrokoloid yang tepat berpengaruh terhadap karakteristik selai lembaran yang dihasilkan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan rasio (1:0, 0:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2) dan konsentrasi (1%; 1,25%; 1,5%; 1,75%) konjak dengan karagenan terhadap karakteristik fisikokimia selai nanas lembaran. Kombinasi konjak dengan karagenan pada rasio 2:1 yang dibuat pada konsentrasi 1% merupakan rasio dan konsentrasi terbaik dalam menghasilkan selai nanas lembaran. Selai nanas lembaran ini memiliki nilai hardness dan cohesiveness sebesar 2337,44±218,612 dan 0,80±0,04. pH selai nanas lembaran sebesar 3,73±0,01 sehingga termasuk ke dalam produk pangan tinggi asam dan memiliki warna kuning (80,85±4,60) serta lightness sebesar 46,09±2,80. Total padatan terlarut selai nanas lembaran lebih rendah (28,70±0,01°Brix) dibandingkan dengan SNI 3746-2008 (minimal 65°Brix).

Abstract

Chitin is a biopolymer that can be extracted from exoskeleton of shrimp shells and other arthropods. One of its derivatives is N-acetylglucosamine that is comprised of glucose and amino acid glutamine. N-acetylglucosamine is known for its health effect, particularly in the treatment of osteoarthritis symptoms. One of the methods to produce N-acetylglucosamine is by fermentation using chitinolytic microorganisms. The aim of this research was to determine the optimum condition (pH, ratio of bacteria, fermentation time, and temperature) for fermentation using the combination of Providencia stuartii and Salmonella enterica to produce N-acetylglucosamine. The research was conducted at different pH (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and bacterial ratios (3:1, 1:1 and 1:3). Furthermore, the optimum incubation temperature (30, 37, 40oC) and fermentation time (1, 2, 3 and 4 days) were also evaluated. The results showed the optimum condition was achieved at pH 8 with bacterial ratio of 1:1, incubated at 37oC for 3 days.  Under these conditions, N-acetylglucosamine concentration obtained was 87,707.04 ± 906.54 ppm.

Abstract

Tea is one of the beverages widely consumed due to its functional aspects, yet its applications remain limited primarily to brewing. Another product that has gained significant popularity among the community, especially school-age children, is bursting popping boba due to its explosive sensation in the mouth. Bursting popping boba is produced using the spherification technique, a molecular gastronomy component. It is commonly based on sugar or syrup solutions. One approach that can enhance tea product diversification is transforming it into bursting popping boba. However, tea-based bursting popping boba has yet to be widely recognized by the public, exceptionally high school students. Hence, there is a need for a workshop on the production of bursting popping boba. This workshop was held on November 4, 2022, at SMA Kristen Karunia Jakarta. The Community Service Program activity was successfully executed and received positive feedback from the high school students of SMA Kristen Karunia Jakarta, as indicated by the questionnaire results. Specifically, 97.5% of the participants found this activity beneficial and informative. In comparison, 92.5% expressed interest in participating in such activities again.

Abstract

Interest in meat substitutes has grown in recent years as consumers seek healthier options. However, many products still face limitations, either in texture or in nutritional balance. Kepok banana flower (KBF), with its fibrous structure, has the potential to mimic meat texture, though its protein content is relatively low. Brown lentils can enhance protein content, while high-protein binders such as isolated soy protein (ISP) and wheat gluten (WG) improve texture and structural integrity. This study aimed to determine the optimum ratio of minced KBF (MKBF) to brown lentil paste (BLP) and to evaluate binder formulations for nutrient-rich plant-based meatballs. The research was conducted in two stages. First, eight MKBF:BLP ratios (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 30:70) were tested for protein content, cooking yield, and lightness (L*), identifying 40:60 as optimal. Second, the 40:60 blend was incorporated into five binder formulations: F0 (commercial reference), F1 (0% WG + 10% ISP), F2 (15% WG + 3% ISP), F3 (20% WG + 3% ISP), and F4 (25% WG + 3% ISP). Analyses included water-holding capacity (WHC), total dietary fiber (TDF), texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluation. The 40:60 ratio yielded 10.24±0.08% protein, 105.68±2.81% cooking yield, and 47.20±0.15 L*. The F4 showed the highest WHC (52.94±9.14%) and TDF (5.99±0.06%), with a hardness of 516.51±31.62 g, chewiness of 353.28±21.66 Nmm, and springiness of 0.87±0.02 mm. Sensory analysis showed that F4 was most comparable to F0. These results suggest that a 40:60 MKBF and BLP combined with WG and ISP produces consumer-acceptable plant-based meatballs with high protein and dietary fiber.

Abstract

Biscuits are a commonly consumed bakery product typically using wheat flour as a primary ingredient, rendering them unsuitable for gluten-intolerant consumers. Using cassava as a gluten-free alternative for composite flour in bakery products has been proven effective. Furthermore, jicama, which has high total dietary fiber contents, including inulin, can enhance total dietary fiber content. However, high-fiber ingredients can often produce a tough texture. To address this, fats such as butter and margarine are typically used to enhance the texture of baked products, although the use of shortening still needs to be explored. Both margarine and shortening are vegetable-based, making them more widely consumable. The production of jicama flour and gluten-free biscuits was the focus of this study. This study uses a completely randomized design with two factors: the ratio of composite flour (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40) and the type of fat (margarine and shortening). Analyses were performed on the gluten-free biscuits to determine the total dietary fiber, inulin, fat, moisture, spread ratio, color and hardness. Results indicated that biscuits made with shortening with a flour ratio of 90:10 of cassava to jicama flour are the best formulation, yielding 2.54±0.00% inulin, 6.50±0.10% total dietary fiber, 19.88±0.17% fat, 2.20±0.10% moisture content, 10.03±0.20 spread ratio, lightness (L*) value of 52.53±0.37, °Hue value of 66.78±0.51, and 869.88±16.07 g hardness. This study shows that jicama flour can be an alternative to producing composite flour for gluten-free products. Shortening, which is not commonly used in biscuit making, may be considered an alternative fat source.

Abstract

Cookies are a popular snack with many varieties available on the market. While the use of beetroot in cookies is relatively common, incorporating holy basil is rare, with limited research on its potential. This study explores composite flour made from beetroot and holy basil as a substitute for wheat flour, aiming to enhance the mineral content in cookies. The objective is to identify the preferred ratio of beetroot to holy basil flour (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40) and the type of fat (butter or margarine) for improved mineral content, fat content, hardness, and spread ratio. The best formulation was an 80:20 ratio of beetroot to holy basil flour combined with butter. This formulation contained 160.01±3.17 mg/100g of calcium, 5.85±0.24 mg/100g of iron, and 46.62±0.04 mg/100g of magnesium. Additionally, it had a fat content of 23.43±0.46%, a hardness of 2047.06±35.06 g, and a spread ratio of 6.17±0.41.

Abstract

Jelly candies rely on specific gelling agents and sweeteners. This study explores jujube, fruit with underutilized potential as a natural sweetener syrup. Jujube syrup (JS), made by concentrating jujube juice could enhance its value and offer an alternative sweetener for confectionery products like jelly candies. By making jujube into syrup, it can also prolong the shelf life and offer a variety of jujube processing options rather than only dried. Thus, determining the effects of JS: glucose syrup (GS) ratios (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 0:100) and carrageenan (CR): pectin (PT) ratios (1:2, 1:1, 2:1) on jelly candies were investigated. Total sugar (TS), total reducing sugar (TRS), and texture profile analysis (TPA) were measured. Results showed jelly candies made with 100:0 of JS: GS and a 2:1 of CR: PT had the best physicochemical properties. These jelly candies had 42.49±0.76 % of TS, 11.17±0.10 % of TRS, and 0.75±0.00 of water activity. They also displayed texture profile with hardness 190.28±3.31 g, 73.89±4.44 N of gumminess, and 88.65±59.02 Nmm of chewiness. This study demonstrates the potential of JS as a substitute for GS in jelly candies, offering a natural, and potentially lower-sugar alternative. The incorporation of JS not only enhances confectionery formulations but also contributes to healthier product development and the use of sustainable, underutilized raw materials, supporting more responsible and innovative approach in food production.

Abstract

The Indonesian food industry needs to utilize local food commodities as an alternative to wheat, supporting local farmers as part of sustainable agriculture. Modified cassava flour (MOCAF) has similar characteristics to wheat flour yet it lacks gluten and has low protein content. Chia seeds have the potential to improve the textural characteristics of gluten-free products due to their gel-forming ability and are a good source of plant-based protein. This study aims to utilize chia seed powder in the formulation of wet noodles substituted with MOCAF to possibly obtain wet noodles with equal textural characteristics and protein content to 100% wheat flour noodles. In this study, different ratios of wheat flour to MOCAF (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40) and different amounts of chia seed powder (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%) are studied in terms of cooking quality (cooking loss and water absorption), textural properties (hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness), color (brightness and hue angle). Higher MOCAF substitution resulted in higher water absorption and cooking loss, as well as undesirable (harder) textural properties. Incorporation of chia seeds powder successfully lowers the cooking loss and higher water absorption of the MOCAF-substituted noodles and noodles with 100% wheat flour without chia seeds powder. Chia seed powder can reduce the hardness while maintaining and increasing the chewiness of the MOCAF-substituted noodles. In the MOCAF-substituted noodles, comparable protein content to that of 100% wheat flour noodles can be achieved with the use of 10 to 15% chia seeds powder at a maximum 80:20 substitution ratio.
