Abstract

Quantitative research is a crucial foundation in the scientific landscape to understand phenomena objectively and measurably. Although essential, there is often a gap between methodological idealism and research practice, especially among novice researchers, which is indicated by the use of quantitative methods that are not optimal in student theses due to lack of mastery of methodology and statistics, marked by inconsistencies in variable logic, lack of theoretical basis, data bias, sampling technique errors, to inaccuracy in testing the validity of instruments and statistical analysis. Through a systematic and comprehensive literature review, this article aims to present a complete picture of the “roadmap” of quantitative research, including the essence, principles, key stages (starting from problem formulation, sample determination, instrument development, data collection, to analysis and interpretation of results), and its various types, rooted in the positivist paradigm that emphasizes objectivity and hypothesis testing. Although quantitative research offers significant advantages such as time efficiency and generalizability, challenges such as difficulty in data collection and lack of in-depth analysis also need to be overcome, so improving methodological and statistical training is crucial to producing valid, accountable scientific work that contributes significantly to the development of science.

Abstract

Bubur pedas or bubor paddas (BP) is porridge from roasted rice granules (R) rich in vegetables with a specific aroma that probably contributed to producing the aroma were roasted coconut flesh granules (C ), fresh kesum (Polygonum minus Huds) leaves (K), fresh buas-buas (Premna cordifolia ROXB) leaves (B), and fresh young tumeric (Curcuma longa) leaves (T). This study aimed to find out the effect of aroma-contributing ingredients (B, C, K, and T) and their role in developing specific aromas based on sensory panelists' acceptability and perception. Each aromatic ingredient was prepared in four serial formulations, namely C, K, B, and T, and a sensory test was then conducted using a hedonic rating method with a 9-point hedonic scale by a panel of 100-200 semi-trained panelists. The data were analyzed using a hierarchical analytical process (AHP), principle component analysis (PCA) biplot, multidimensional scaling (MDS) with alternating least squares scaling (ALSCAL) model, and Spearman's correlation. The highest acceptability for each aromatic ingredient's formula was 25 g of the C formula, 16 g of the K formula, 12 g of the B formula, and 12 g of the T formula, respectively. Almost the best formula for each aromatic ingredient's formula showed no correlation or dissimilarity. Among the aromatic ingredients, K and T played a pivotal role in developing the aroma, but only K enhanced the savory. Therefore, K and T were considered compulsory ingredients in generating a unique characteristic for BP in the panellists's perception
