Abstract

Banana tape is one of the innovations in processing bananas into new processed products that can be enjoyed by the community, which is almost the same as making tape in general. The purpose of this study was to determine the right variation of ragi concentration on the physical and chemical characteristics of kepok banana tape. This type of research is experimental with the Completely Randomized Design (RAL) method with variations in ragi concentration, namely 0.5 grams, 1 gram, 1.5 grams, 2 grams and 2.5 grams with a fermetation time of 3 days. The parameters of this study include physical analysis (taste, flavor, color and texture) and chemical analysis (glucose, alcohol and pH). The results showed that ragi concentration of 0.5 gram produced the best organoleptic test of taste 3.75, aroma 3.4, color 3.6 and texture 3.45. Chemical tests showed that a ragi concentration of 1.5 grams produced the best results in glucose levels of 7.9%, alcohol 1.24% and pH 4.41. This study has the potential to be used as a contextual chemistry learning medium, particularly in understanding fermentation processes, pH changes, and biochemical transformations in everyday food products.

Abstract

Steaming is a very important factor in the processing of food ingredients, especially kepok bananas before being fermented into tape. This study was to determine the effect of steaming time on the quality of kepok banana tape seen from the chemical characteristics including pH value determined using a pH meter, sugar content with the phenol sulfate method, alcohol content with the acid-base titration method, and organoleptic testing by 15 panelists. The bananas used were half-ripe kepok bananas from Dolo District, Sigi Regency, with variations in steaming time of 25, 30 and 35 minutes. The results showed that kepok banana tape with a steaming time of 25 minutes had a pH of 4.88; sugar content 12.62%; alcohol content 1.47%; color preference 3.4; aroma 2.8; texture 3.6 and taste 2.8. Tape with a steaming time of 30 minutes had a pH of 4.85; sugar content 16.37%; alcohol content 1.52%; color preference 3.5; aroma 2.6; texture 3.2; and taste 3.1. And tape with a steaming time of 35 minutes has a pH of 4.85; sugar content 10.57%; alcohol content 1.61%; color preference 3.4; aroma 3; texture 3.4; and taste 3.4. Based on the results of chemical and organoleptic characteristic tests, the best quality of banana kepok tape is tape with a steaming time of 35 minutes. This study provides educational relevance by illustrating the application of chemistry concepts such as acid-base reactions, fermentation, and analytical techniques in real-world food processing, making it a potential contextual learning material in science education.
