Abstract

Stunting in children is a significant problem worldwide, specifically in developing countries. One of the contributing factors to this condition is dysbiosis, characterized by an imbalance in gut microbiota and is commonly observed in affected patients. To reduce the prevalence of stunting, it is critical to provide products that are rich in protein, calcium, and probiotic. In this context, freeze-dried probiotic yogurt snacks can be used as an effective solution due to their high nutritional value, ability to preserve probiotic cell viability, and extended shelf life. Therefore, this study aims to determine snacking habits and level of acceptance of yogurt snacks among children through a sensory evaluation. The result showed that parents often considered taste, health benefits, and price when purchasing snacks. Meanwhile, children showed a high preference for freeze-dried probiotic yogurt snacks, particularly due to their appealing shape. Panelist parents also considered the products to be necessary, recommended, and an alternative to unhealthy snacks. Therefore, these products may be suitable for upper-middle-class consumers due to their higher prices and will require taste improvement to increase consumer acceptance among children.

Abstract

An alternate healthy snack for school-age children can be prepared by adding sorghum and tempeh flour, which are sources of protein and fiber, to instant cereal drinks. Probiotic-enriched snacks are well-known, and several clinical studies have shown significant benefits to humans. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effects of various ratios of sorghum and tempeh flour (5:1, 2:1, and 1:1) on physicochemical and sensory characteristics of the flakes. The viability of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum Dad-13 in an instant cereal beverage was examined for 56 days at three distinct storage temperature, i.e 20, 30, and 37 °C. The 2:1 sorghum: tempeh flour ratio formulation was the most widely accepted. According to chemical analyses, all probiotic instant cereal drink formulations have the potential to be sources of fiber (6.4–10.6 g/100 g) and proteins (14.5–16.3 g/100 g). Furthermore, the probiotic instant cereal drink contains more fiber and protein than a commercial product. This product has a minimum viable count of probiotic bacteria > 6.0 log CFU/g, which is substantial enough to have positive health effects on Indonesian school-age children.

Abstract

Hotong (Setaria italica (L) Beauv.) and walnut (Canarium indicum L.) are nutrient-rich local foods from Maluku Province, Indonesia, significant health. In this context, biscuit enriched with probiotic cream are a recommended snack for enhancing nutrition and promoting balance of the intestinal microflora, at a sufficient quantity of 107 log CFU/g. Therefore, this study aimed to objectively evaluate the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of biscuit, as well as assess probiotic viability. The used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with three different formulation treatments containing hotong flour and walnut at ratios of 40%:10% (F1), 35%:15% (F2), and 30%:20% (F3). Probiotic cell viability was analyzed at temperatures of 20 °C, 37 °C, and 45 °C. The results showed that F3 had the most favorable formulation regarding nutritional adequacy rate with 173 kcal energy, 10% fat,  4.41% protein, 5.20% carbohydrate, and 2 g sugar. It featured a crisp texture and increasingly darker colors, in line with the outcomes of sensory evaluations. F3 was the preferred, achieving high scores for color (5.38), taste (6.13), aroma (5.13), breakability (5.86), crispness (6), aftertaste (5.02), and overall quality (6.03). Cell viability for all treatments was higher at 20 °C and remained above 107 log CFU/g.
