Abstract

Beta-carotene is a pigment that occurs widely and abundantly in nature. Beta-carotene can be found in some fruits and vegetables. Commonly, beta-carotene consistently bonds to other carotenoid compounds. Beta-carotene is a powerful colorant with beneficial effects on human health due to its ability to radical scavenging. Beta-carotene is obtained through the process of extraction with suitable solvent. The extraction method influenced the profile and quality of beta-carotene. The sonochemical approach using ultrasound, microwaves, and ohmic heating is eco-friendly and helps decrease the amount of solvent used, reduce the extraction time, increase the yield of beta-carotene from the sources, and increase the efficiency of the food applied. It is easier for consumers to accept natural dyes with high stability and efficiency. The present review describes detailed information about the quality of beta-carotene extract, isolation methods, and factors that affect the efficiency of natural food colorants applied to food products, which is helpful for the further development of food product formulations.

Abstract

Exploration towards food with cholesterol-lowering property would be beneficial to reduce the incidents of cardiovascular caused by increasing number of people with hypercholesterolaemia. As much as 42 participants with total cholesterol (TC) levels ≥4.92 mmol/L were studied in a three-arms parallel intervention trial. As much as 72g soy nuts and 66g tempeh were consumed daily (25g soy protein/day) for six weeks, while control group was not given any sample. TC level and body composition were measured before and after the treatment for all groups. In soy nuts group, lower TC level was observed (-0.85±0.82 mmol/L, p<0.05) compared to the control group. Meanwhile in tempeh group, non-significant lower TC level was also observed (-0.40±1.19 mmol/L). Differences in body composition parameters were also measured and resulted in significant lower body weight, fat, and visceral fat in soy nuts group (p<0.05) while in tempeh group, only body weight and waist circumference were significantly decreased (p<0.05). This study suggested that daily consumption of soy nuts and tempeh containing 25g soy protein for six weeks showed a tendency to lower TC levels in hypercholesterolaemic-Indonesian participants. A more significant effect might be observed in subject with higher TC levels; and thus, further study is encouraged.

Abstract

Palm sugar is a product made from the sap of lontar tree flowers. Palmira Indonesia has started to develop palm sugar products in the form of powder and drinks. The addition of lemongrass stalks can be used as an alternative to improve product characteristics. This study aims to determine the effect of adding lemongrass stalks and to obtain the sensory characteristics of the lemongrass palm sugar herbal drink. This research was conducted using a completely randomized experimental design with the proportion of lemongrass stalks (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%). The data were analyzed by analysis of variance. If significant, then proceed with Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed the addition of lemongrass had a very significant effect on the scoring test of taste attributes, significantly on the hedonic test of the taste attributes and not significantly on the hedonic test of the color attribute, total acceptance, and the scoring test of the color attribute. The best treatment that can be used to make a lemongrass-sugar palm herbal drink is a 10% addition of lemongrass stalks. The panelist's acceptance of the treatment was liked for taste, color, and total acceptance attributes with the taste scoring criteria being balanced brown sugar and lemongrass and color scoring criteria being red. This treatment was also containing an antioxidant activity was 69.64% with an IC50 was 694.50 ppm, a total dissolved solid was 0.52 Brix, and a color characteristic of L* 26.9, a* 23.16, and b* 37.1 with red oxide criteria.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of consumption of lesser yam synbiotic yoghurt on glucose levels and blood lipid profiles of metabolic syndrome rats. Synbiotic yoghurt has positive effect on health such as increasing body immunity, lowering blood glucose and cholesterol levels. In this study, lesser yam synbiotic yoghurt was made from cow's milk and lesser yam extract with (1:1) proportion, sugar, skim milk and starter of lactic acid bacteria and then followed by bioassay test using experimental rats. The results showed that lesser yam synbiotic yoghurt can reduce glucose levels and improve the blood lipid profile of rats. The best treatment is to give 4 ml of synbiotic yoghurt per day which can reduce glucose levels and total blood cholesterol of metabolic syndrome rats. It can be concluded that lesser yam synbiotic yoghurt which had high levels of dietary fiber and inulin, had hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic effect.

Abstract

The crab shell (Portunus pelagicus) has many benefits, one of the benefits is the used in the manufacture of chitooligosaccharides. The crab shell was chosen because it contains 20- 30% chitin inside. Chitin can be processed into chitosan and then hydrolyzed into chitooligosaccharides using enzymes. This study aims to determine the type of enzyme that is effective in the process of hydrolyzing chitooligosaccharides with various enzymes are the α-amylase, lipase, cellulase, chitosanase and a combination of enzymes are chitosanase α-amylase, chitosanase lipase, and cellulase chitosanase. The observation data were analyzed using ANOVA. The results showed that the best chitooligosaccharides obtained resulting from the hydrolysis of a combination of cellulase chitosanase enzymes which had the best characteristics, namely the highest degree of deacetylation of 94.95%, the lowest molecular weight of 3.54 KDa, the antioxidant activity of the DPPH method was 5.21 ( µmol TE/g), the FRAP antioxidant method was 2.27 (µmol TE/g), the diameter of the inhibition area (DDH) was 7.30 mm in Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and 15.9 mm in Salmonella typhosa bacteria. From these results, it can be known that this chitooligosaccharide is more effective in inhibiting the growth. The Gram-positive bacteria was compared to gram-negative bacteria.
