Abstract

This study aimed to find the optimum conditions for extracting the carotenoid content in orange sweet potato in an applied application. The extracted carotenoids will be used as raw materials to produce rose-scented aromatic compounds (b-ionone). The extraction process was carried out on dry matter using maceration technique and using hexane as solvent. Other solvents such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and choloroform were also used to extract carotenoids from orange sweet potato. The use of wet samples and dry samples was also carried out in this study. The ratio of the solvent used with the material was 1:3. Based on the yield and spectrophotometric characterization, it was known that the extraction process with hexane solvent can extract carotenoid compounds from dry orange sweet potato powder if the extraction process is carried out 7 times

Abstract

A food self-heater is a device designed to rapidly heat food by the utilization of exothermic or endothermic reactions. To yet, a food self-heater with a dedicated scent feature has not been developed. The fragrance utilized is derived from residual tangerine peel components. The objective of this study is to investigate the variations in the concentration of the limonene compound in essential oil extracted from tangerine peel, specifically examining the impact of tangerine peel wilting. Additionally, the study intends to identify the most effective food self-heating method by incorporating tangerine peel powder as an aromatic component in the self-heating process. The present study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of five treatments and three replications. The treatments employed in this study encompassed varying durations of withering time for tangerine peel, denoted as A (0 hours), B (6 hours), C (12 hours), D (24 hours), and E (48 hours). The research findings indicated that the duration of drying tangerine peels had a notable impact on various factors including water content, yield, pH, color, duration for the aromatic self-heating meal to attain the optimal temperature, and aroma. However, no significant influence on limonene levels was seen. Based on the duration required for the aromatic food self-heater to attain the optimal temperature and the organoleptic aroma, treatment D (24-hour withering of tangerine peel) demonstrates the highest efficacy. This treatment exhibits a time frame of approximately 4.5 minutes for the aromatic food self-heater to reach the optimum temperature, accompanied by a fragrance rating of 4.2 in the organoleptic analysis.
