Abstract

Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea derived from Camellia sinensis leaves. Oolong tea contains high polyphenol compounds that act as antioxidants and prebiotics. However, studies related to the prebiotic properties of oolong tea are still limited. This review aims to discuss scientific research that supports the concept of oolong tea polyphenol compounds as prebiotics. Oolong tea polyphenol compounds have low bioavailability. The part of the polyphenols that are not absorbed by the small intestine will be metabolized by intestinal bacteria. This has implications for improving intestinal microbiota and increasing SCFA production which have health effects on the body as antiobesity, improving colon inflammation and preventing cardiovascular disease.

The aim is to reduce the use of wheat flour and empower the potential of local flour from cassava and add fiber. The addition of banana flour to provide different flavors and a longer satiety effect. Using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method with four formulations and three replications. Formulation P1 = control, P2 25% banana flour and 75% mocaf flour, P3 50% banana flour and 50% mocaf flour, P4 75% banana flour and 25% mocaf flour. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). The results of sensory testing showed that the best formulation was found in the snack bar sample with a formulation of 75% banana flour and 25% mocaf flour. The chemical characteristics of snack bars with substitutions of banana flour and mocaf flour are in the form of moisture content of 9.33%, ash content of 1.74%, protein content of 9.10%, fat content of 20.22, and crude fiber content of 92.58%.Keyword : snack bar, substitute, banana flour, mocaf flour
