Abstract

The monosaccharide and fiber content in “loka pere” bananas can be a good growth substrate for probiotic bacteria during the fermentation process in making “loka pere” banana probiotic fermented drinks. The probiotics used can increase the functionality of the product in providing health effects, especially on digestive tract health. The resulting probiotic fermented drink has a distinctive sour taste; usually, sweeteners are added as a flavour balancer in the product so that it can be well accepted by consumers. This study examined the effect of adding variations in sweeteners, namely sucrose, on product characteristics after the fermentation process. Results of the study, it was found that the addition of variations in sucrose of 0%, 3%, 6% did not have a significant effect on the characteristics of pH values (3.97, 3.88, 3.89), total acid (0.70%, 0.77%, 0.70%) and the number of probiotic bacteria (7.53 Log CFU/mL, 7.47 Log CFU/mL, 7.52 Log CFU/mL) in the product. Therefore, sucrose can be used as a sweetener in making the probiotic fermented banana drink “loka pere” because it does not change other characteristics other than the resulting sweet taste.

Abstract

Functional food products play a crucial role in maintaining human health. One such functional food product that benefits digestive health is probiotic products. Banana "Loka Pere" can be the primary raw material for probiotic products. The monosaccharide and fiber content in the banana "Loka Pere" can serve as substrates for probiotic bacteria. A probiotic fermented smoothie made from banana "Loka Pere" is one such example of a probiotic product. Smoothies were chosen for their superior fiber composition, which remains intact due to the absence of fruit fiber filtration. This study examines and analyzes the growth ability of probiotics through the fermentation process in smoothies made from "Loka Pere" bananas, focusing on the parameters of pH, total acid, and the number of probiotic bacteria. The variables used included variations in probiotic powder (Lacto B and L-Bio) and variations in fermentation time (0 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours) with three replications. The analysis results showed significant differences in pH, total acid, and probiotic count. The results showed that the use of L-Bio probiotic powder and 48 hours of fermentation time provided the best results, with a pH value of 3.81, a total acid content of 0.69%, and several probiotic bacteria at a log of 7.65 CFU.mL–1.

Abstract

Community service activities carried out in the form of banana nugget-making training are part of an effort to improve community knowledge and skills in processing local commodities. This activity was carried out in Bonde Village, Pamboang District, Majene Regency, West Sulawesi Province, on December 17, 2024. The stages of the activity include preparation, presentation of training materials, training practice, and monitoring and evaluation. Twenty participants, aged 23-60 years, who were housewives and MSME business actors, attended this training. Developing knowledge about banana processing, a better understanding of banana nugget processing, knowing the benefits of banana processing diversification, and getting more people interested in making and selling banana nugget products are all signs that the activities were successful. Based on monitoring and evaluation data, this activity succeeded in increasing participant knowledge and understanding regarding the benefits and process of converting bananas into banana nuggets. This training also increased participants' interest in making and selling banana nugget products.
