Abstract

Bekasam is a fish that is spontaneously fermented by adding salt and a source of carbohydrates (such as cooked white rice). This traditional food is often found in several regions of Indonesia, especially in South Sumatra, South Kalimantan, and North Sulawesi. Bekasam is traditionally produced to preserve fish during the harvest season. This review aims to present information on the historical background of bekasam, its manufacturing process, chemical characteristics, the types of microflora that exist within it, and the potential utilization of bekasam as a source of umami in dishes. The methodology for this study included a combination of literature review, observational interviews with traditional bekasam producers, experimental bekasam processing, and thorough documentation. A total of 60 articles were collected and chosen based on appropriate criteria. The results of the review article offer several explanations, based on historical aspects bekasam is an adaptation of Chinese cuisine introduced by traders who visited Sriwijaya. In the South Sumatra region, especially among the Ogan and Komering tribes, clay jars left by the Chinese are used to store bekasam in the kitchen. The Komering tribe refers to the fermentation of bekasam as sam-sam.  Various microbes are found in bekasam, with the main constituent being Lactobacillus spp., and a significant presence of Lactobacillus plantarum. During fermentation, the proteins in the raw materials of bekasam are degraded into simple compounds, mainly amino acids. Glutamate and aspartate had the highest values in the total composition of the other amino acids. These two amino acids contribute to the umami taste of food products. After exceeding the threshold for glutamate and aspartate, bekasam has the potential to contribute to the umami taste. Due to its umami potential, bekasam has been developed into various cuisines, including fried bekasam, sautéed bekasam, and chili sauce.

Abstract

The exocarp and mesocarp of the coffee bean are traditionally not peeled in some regions of Indonesia when producing coffee using traditional methods. Even though it has been a long practice among traditional coffee farmers, unpeeled coffee has a very limited market due to its sensory weakness and thus hardly meets international coffee standards. Therefore, product diversification can be a strategic approach to improving this sub-grade coffee’s economic value. One of the alternatives is developing the coffee into kombucha. Kombucha processing has been well known for its ability to transform non-delightful sensory attributes into something more acceptable. In this study, the effects of different sweeteners and concentrations were investigated and designed as a nested experiment. Both peeled and unpeeled coffee were brewed with the French-press technique and used as a medium for kombucha. Different sweeteners, such as sucrose, glucose, and a mixture of sucrose and honey, were also applied in ratios of 5, 10, and 15%. It was observed that both peeled and unpeeled coffee kombucha have a competitive level of sensory preference with similar total sugar, total acidity, and total dissolved solids (p-value > 0.05). Those were achieved by adding 15% sucrose for peeled coffee kombucha and 10% sucrose-honey mix for the unpeeled one.

Abstract

Caspian sea soygurt is made by fermenting edamame milk with Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris and Acetobacter orientalis as microbial cultures. To produce good soygurt, edamame milk fermentation requires ideal conditions, such as an optimum carbon source and starter concentration. This study aimed to determine the effect of the proportion of sucrose:skim and concentration of starter on the physical, chemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of Caspian sea soygurt. This study used a randomized block design with 2 factors: sucrose:skim proportion (2.5:7.5, 5:5 7.5:2.5) and starter concentration (8, 10, 12% of pasteurized edamame milk) repeated three times. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and continued with the Tukey test. These results was used to select the best treatment using the Zeleny Multiple Attribute Method. The best Caspian soygurt treatment was found in the proportion of sucrose:skim 5:5 (% w/v of pasteurized edamame milk) and starter concentration 12 (% v/v of pasteurized edamame milk), which produced a color (L*) 78.98, (a*) -2.86 ( b*) 23.79, viscosity 516.67 cP, protein 3.38%, antioxidant activity 43.12%, pH 4.35, total lactic acid bacteria 9.85 log CFU/mL with a preference level of 3.45 and an acceptance level of 3.55 for the greenness, a preference level of 3.79 and an acceptance level of 3.80 for the brightness, a preference level of 3.15 and an acceptance level 3.21 on the sour aroma, preference level of 3.04 and acceptance level of 3.11for the beany aroma, preference level of 3.04 and acceptance level of 3.18 for the beany flavor, preference level of 3.02 and acceptance level of 3.19 for the sour taste, preference level of 2.98 and acceptance level of 3.09 for sweet taste, preference level of 3.49 and acceptance level of 3.60 for the viscosity.

Abstract

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) has been widely employed for optimizing processes. However, the implementation of RSM in sensory studies is still limited. Moreover, most publications implementing RSM on sensory disregarded the validation stage as normally applied for process optimization. In this study, validating sensory overall acceptability with RSM was proposed by the Just-About-Right (JAR) technique. Coffee-leaf tea has great commercial potential as an ethnic beverage with unique sensory attributes but is still underutilized. Optimizing sensory acceptability level by modifying temperature and duration of brewing using the RSM was expected to obtain well-accepted coffee-leaf tea.  Robusta coffee leaf tea is brewed using combined Decoction - V60, French Press, combined French Press - V60, and V60 at 90oC to 100oC for 2 to 10 minutes. Evaluated by 110 untrained panelists, it was observed that the ideal brewing parameters for each technique were 96.6oC for 6.5 minutes for Decoction – V60, 96oC and 6.5 minutes for French Press, 90oC and 2 minutes for French Press - V60, and 90oC and 2 minutes for V60. All optimum brewing conditions based on RSM were successfully validated by overall acceptability on JAR (p-value 0.05). Thus, the JAR technique can enhance the overall sensory acceptability analysis and optimization.

Abstract

The global market for functional beverages is experiencing rapid growth as consumer awareness for healthy lifestyles increases. The objective of this study is to ascertain the physical characteristics, optimal formula, and organoleptic quality of functional collagen beverages derived from a blend of bayang flower (Clitoria ternatea L.), red guava (Psidium guajava L.), and emprit ginger. In this study, an extreme vertex design was employed in conjunction with Minitab 19 to extract the materials. The extraction process was carried out using the following methods: telang flowers were subjected to a drying process at 40°C for 24 hours, followed by extraction with water at 60°C for 30 minutes; ginger emprit was dried at 60°C for 24 hours and then extracted at 55°C for 15 minutes; and red guava was blended with water at a 1:1 ratio. The total phenolic content was analyzed using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, while antioxidant activity was evaluated through the use of the DPPH method. Finally, sensory evaluation was conducted employing a hedonic test, which was completed by 100 untrained panelists. The optimal formula obtained was 50% telang flower extract, 30% red guava juice, 15% ginger emprit extract, and 5% collagen hydrolysate (desirability value 0.8288), resulting in antioxidant activity of 316.45 mg TE/100 ml and total phenolic content of 247.33 mg GAE/L. The sensory evaluation revealed that the subject demonstrated moderate acceptance, as indicated by an average preference score of 3.51. The combination of bay flower extract and guava juice exhibited a synergistic effect in enhancing antioxidant activity, while guava juice contributed significantly to the total phenolic content. Notwithstanding the favorable reception, the robust ginger flavor, elevated viscosity, diminished clarity, and textural characteristics.

Abstract

Jamu, an Indonesian traditional herbal drink, is widely consumed for health maintenance but is often perceived as bitter, pungent, and outdated by younger generations. To preserve this cultural heritage, transforming jamu into kombucha offers both improved sensory appeal and functional benefits. This study examined the characteristics and sensory perception of kombucha made from turmeric and a mix of turmeric–tamarind leaves, evaluated at serving temperatures of 25°C and 9°C. Sensory evaluation employed Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) and Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS), validated using Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) and Facial Landmarks Distance (FLD) analyses via a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Results showed that, despite pungent or bitter notes, sourness was the dominant attribute across samples (p < 0.05). Sourness was perceived for a longer duration in kombucha served at 9°C compared to 25°C. Although GC–MS detected bitterness, it did not significantly affect preference (p > 0.05). FER results were dominated by positive expressions (p < 0.05), confirming overall acceptance, while FLD analysis revealed significant changes in five facial landmarks associated with positive emotions. Male participants exhibited more positive expressions than females (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that converting jamu into kombucha effectively enhances its palatability and emotional acceptance, making it a promising strategy to modernize traditional beverages. Jamu based kombucha can thus serve as a culturally rooted, functional drink suitable for Gen Z consumers and adaptable to various serving temperatures.

Abstract

Sensory experience determines whether cosmetic products are adopted, repurchased, and trusted. Yet the knowledge needed to set defensible sensory targets is scattered across psychophysics, descriptive analysis, and category-specific practice. This review consolidates the concept of “thresholds” for cosmetics and explains how to use them to guide formulation, quality control, and claims. Author define detection and recognition thresholds as performance-based points on a psychometric function that ensure key notes and tactile cues are truly perceivable and correctly identified. Author then describe the difference threshold, or just noticeable difference, as the smallest reliable change from a reference and show how JNDs translate directly into specification bands that control batch-to-batch drift. Because perceptibility does not guarantee liking, we integrate consumer-facing acceptance and rejection thresholds to locate intensity regions that preserve preference and avoid penalties in market. Methodologically, the review emphasizes bias-resistant forced-choice designs, supported by adjustment and categorical procedures, and shows how threshold estimation aligns with descriptive sensory programs already used for creams and lotions across realistic stages of use. Taken together, these tools provide a practical bridge from small compositional or process changes to user-relevant discriminability and acceptance. Author conclude with priorities for practice, including disciplined panel management, tighter linkage between laboratory thresholds and in-use temporal profiles, and opportunities for mobile or at-home protocols that capture real-world experiences.

Abstract

The high volume of whey from cheese production in dairy industries has not been optimally utilized. However, cheese whey possesses high nutritional value, offering potential as raw material for yoghurt drink. This research studied the effect of whey-to-milk ratio (i.e., 50:50, 65:35, and 75:25) and stabilizer type (i.e., high methoxyl pectin, carboxymethyl cellulose, and iota carrageenan) on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of whey-based yoghurt beverages. Physicochemical analysis covered five parameters (i.e., titratable acidity, pH, total solid, viscosity, and syneresis) using a Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data were processed using ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test (α = 0.05). For sensory analysis, whey-based yoghurt beverage was compared with a control (100% milk treatment) and two commercial products. Sensory evaluation was performed on 158 panelists using rate-all-that-apply and 5 points scale hedonic for 10 attributes (i.e., color, visual thickness, milky aroma, yoghurt aroma, sweetness, sourness, mouthfeel thickness, creaminess, astringency, and overall acceptability). Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney (α = 0.05). Whey:milk ratio significantly affected titratable acidity, total solid (TS), viscosity, and syneresis. Meanwhile, stabilizer type significantly influenced viscosity and syneresis. The combination of a 50:50 whey:milk ratio and iota carrageenan produced the best formulation based on the Multiple Attribute Zeleny method. In conclusion, the whey-based drinking yoghurt demonstrates overall consumer acceptability comparable to both commercial and control products, indicating promising market potential.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion or function, and its management relies heavily on drug therapy and lifestyle modifications, which are often challenging to maintain consistently. Therefore, more effective alternatives, such as functional foods like cocoa, which contains various bioactive compounds that may play a role in blood glucose regulation, are needed.Objectives: This literature review aims to explore the potential of cocoa as a functional food for blood glucose management in diabetic patients based on existing scientific evidence.Methods: This study is a systematic literature review conducted by searching the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases within the period of 2015–2025. The analyzed articles include in vivo studies on diabetic animal models, meta-analyses, and clinical trials in humans related to cocoa consumption and its effects on diabetes parameters.Results: In vivo studies show that a flavanol-rich cocoa diet improves insulin sensitivity, reduces HbA1c levels, and protects endothelial and pancreatic cells from oxidative stress. Meta-analyses of clinical trials indicate that cocoa flavanol supplementation (200-600 mg/day) significantly reduces HOMA-IR, triglycerides, and inflammation. Observational studies also suggest that moderate chocolate consumption may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.Conclusions: Cocoa has the potential to serve as a functional food for blood glucose management through improved insulin sensitivity, antioxidant effects, and gut microbiota modulation. However, further large-scale clinical trials are needed to determine the optimal dosage and long-term efficacy of cocoa in diabetes prevention and management.
