Abstract

Madura is the largest producer of Piper retrofractum Vahl in Indonesia. However, this commodity has not developed well, so it is necessary to develop Piper retrofractum Vahl candy products and conduct a feasibility study on establishing an agro-industrial factory in Madura. This research aims to develop Piper retrofractum Vahl candy product and feasibility study. The development of the Piper retrofractum Vahl candy product uses the Value Engineering method to produce the best alternative. The best product alternative will be an industrial feasibility analysis that includes analysis of Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback Period (PP), Benefit/Cost Ratio (B/C Ratio), and Break Even Point (BEP). The results of this study indicate that there are five attributes in the development of Piper retrofractum vahl candy, namely taste (5), shape (4.3), color (4.3), texture (3.6), and packaging shape (4.3). After conducting an analysis of alternative selection, the best alternative was selected, namely chocolate flavor with a performance value of 3.44, animal shape with a performance value of 5.62, red color with a performance value of 4.9, hard texture (hard candy) with a performance value of 8.04 and transparent packaging shape with a performance value of 8.34. The overall performance value of the best alternative design is 30.34. The results of the financial analysis of the Piper retrofractum Vahl candy product are said to be feasible because its value is above the standard. Thus, the project is economically feasible and can increase the sustainability of Madura local wisdom.

Abstract

Loss of appetite is a common problem in children. This loss of appetite can lead to health and developmental problems. Loss of appetite is often attributed to internal factors, such as worm infections. Parents often try to increase appetite through vitamins, pharmacological medications, and traditional medicine. However, many children refuse to consume traditional medicines because they have a bitter and unappealing taste. One innovation to encourage children to consume herbal medicine is to process it into candy. This candy is made from spices such as Javanese ginger and roselle. This candy contains curcumin and anthocyanins, which can increase children's appetite. This research aims to develop the best formulation for Javanese ginger herbal candy, using roselle flowers as an additional ingredient, to produce a pink color that children love. The resulting pink color will attract children's attention to consume Javanese ginger candy. This research design used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) model with variations in the addition of curcuma extract concentrations (6, 8, 10, 10 g) and rosella extract (2, 3, 4, 5 g). The resulting candy was then tested, including water content testing, flavonoid testing, antioxidant testing, solubility testing, curcumin content testing, and pH testing. The addition of curcuma extract and rosella flower extract had a significant effect on water content, antioxidant activity, pH, and curcumin content. The best treatment was treatment F3 with the addition of 10 g of curcuma extract and 4 g of rosella flower extract. The results of the curcumin content test for herbal candy with curcuma extract and rosella flower extract were classified as very low at 0.0020%. This figure is very small in meeting the curcumin levels in children, so it is not effective in increasing children's appetite.
