Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of bread with the addition of green peas (Pisum sativum). In this study, three different treatments were done including 0% (control), 12.5% and 25% of green peas puree were added to the bread dough mixture and afterwards baked to analyze its physicochemical properties. Texture-wise, the addition of green peas did not show any significant effect (p>0.05) on the springiness of the bread yet it was otherwise for hardness, cohesiveness and chewiness. Moreover, the color of bread in different treatments have their own distinguishable details. Green peas had allowed the bread to become darker in color but the different amount of green peas puree added did not cause a change in the hues of the color. Furthermore, the moisture content of the bread added with the highest amount of green peas was shown to have the highest moisture content and the difference between the moisture content of each treatment was rendered to be significant (p≤0.05). Green peas seem to have caused a decrease in loaf volume and height due to the high amount of fiber contained in it. Nevertheless, the addition of green peas did not give any significant effect on the baking loss, loaf width and loaf length of the bread (p>0.05).

Abstract

Sorghum is one of the potential local carbohydrate sources in Indonesia. It is rich in nutrients. However, the utilisation of sorghum as staple food in Indonesia is lacking due to limited information on the cultivation, processing, and nutritional properties of sorghum. Hence, it is crucial to encourage the consumption and utilisation of sorghum to promote food diversification and sustainability. Sorghum has a distinct classification depending on its variety and each component has its own discrete functionality, with red sorghum being the most utilised varieties in Indonesia. Sorghum is high in fibre and protein (6.7 g/100 g and 1.6 g/100 g, respectively) and, therefore, contributes to the low glycemic index of sorghum. Several health benefits are possessed by sorghum, including anti-diabetic and antihypertensive properties. Moreover, the gluten-free nature of sorghum makes it suitable for people suffering from celiac disease. Utilisation of sorghum and its processing were also discussed comprehensively in this review, including utilisation of sorghum as the rice substitute, gluten-free flour, syrup, sweet soy sauce, and sorghum as plant-based milk. As such, the implementation of sorghum in Indonesia should be further optimised and promoted due to their beneficial properties as well as diverse utilisation.
