Abstract

Terasi is a traditional fermented shrimp paste that has been an integral part of Indonesian cuisine and food culture. Despite its broad use and complex distinctive flavor, shrimp paste could be harmful for human consumption, particularly when its quality has deteriorated. Indeed, many chemical reactions and microbial activities taking place during shrimp paste fermentation could lead to a decrease in quality and the formation of toxic compounds that are potentially injurious to human health. Thus, this study aimed to explore to improve the safety and quality of shrimp paste by incorporating betel leaf (Piper betle L.) essential oil, known to exert antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The supplementation of betel leaf essential oil (1% and 5%) reduced lipid peroxidation as well as the formation of toxic compounds, including histamine and acrylamide in the shrimp paste fermented for 30 and 60 days. This phenomenon was associated with the inhibition of microbial growth in shrimp paste supplemented with betel leaf essential oil. The sensory analysis revealed that the supplementation of 1% betel leaf essential oil did not affect the consumer’s preference for shrimp paste. Therefore, the present study highlights the potential of betel leaf essential oil as a food additive to improve the safety and quality of fermented shrimp paste.

Abstract

Tumpeng, a traditional Indonesian ceremonial dish characterized by its distinctive conical shape, accompanied by an array of side dishes. Tumpeng holds significant cultural, philosophical, and nutritional value within Indonesian society. Despite its prominence in Indonesian culinary traditions, there exists a notable gap in comprehensive literature addressing the multifaceted aspects of tumpeng. This review aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive examination of tumpeng, encompassing its historical evolution, philosophical underpinnings, varieties, and nutritional attributes. The historical evolution of tumpeng is rooted in ancient Hinduism in Indonesia which has evolved and adapted, reflecting the dynamic interplay between culture, religion, and tradition in Indonesian society. Philosophically, tumpeng embodies the concepts of gratitude, harmony, and community. It serves as a means of expressing gratitude to the divine and fostering communal unity through shared meals and ceremonies. Additionally, tumpeng holds symbolic significance in various cultural rituals and celebrations, reflecting the interconnectedness between spirituality, tradition, and everyday life. The review also explores the 15 varieties of tumpeng, ranging from traditional ceremonial dishes to modern adaptations for special occasions. Each variation of tumpeng carries its own unique cultural significance and culinary characteristics, highlighting the diversity of Indonesian cuisine and culinary traditions. Furthermore, a nutritional analysis reveals the potential health benefits of tumpeng, with its balanced combination of staple foods, proteins, vegetables, and other nutritious ingredients. Tumpeng offers a rich source of essential nutrients, contributing to overall health and well-being when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
