Abstract

Edible film is a thin layer as a coating for foodstuffs made from edible materials such as taro. One of the taro tubers variety that can be used as edible film is Beneng from Banten. Edible films made from starch have a weakness that is easy to tear and have low elasticity, to change the physical properties of the film from starch it is necessary to add a plasticizer. Plasticizers that are often added to the production of edible films are xylitol, sorbitol, polyethylene glycol, and glycerol. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the type of treatment and concentration of plasticizer on the physical-mechanical properties of edible film made from taro beneng starch. The treatment in this study was divided into 2 factors, the first factor was the type of plasticizer (sorbitol, glycerol and PEG), while the second factor was the concentration of the plasticizer (1%, 3%, and 5%). The tests carried out in this study were the tensile strength, elongation, thickness, water vapor transmission, and water solubility tests. The results showed that the type and concentration of plasticizer have a significant effect on the characteristics of the edible film. The interaction between the type and concentration of plasticizer has no significant effect on the water vapor transmission test. The best edible film in this study was the edible film with the addition of the plasticizer sorbitol with a concentration of 3%.

Abstract

Garden egg (Solanum aethiopicum L.) is highly perishable. Shelf life of the crop can be extended via pickling. Therefore, this study focused to observe the pickled garden egg, in order to make it available in and out of season. Three samples were prepared, namely unpickled (control) garden egg (UPRGE); pickled garden egg in brine with sugar (PGESU); and pickled garden egg with salt (PGESA). Samples were pickled for seven days and evaluated for the nutritional, phytochemicals and sensory qualities using standard methods. On dry weight basis, moisture contents ranged from (1.11 to 1.12 %), protein ranged from (13.8 to 19.5 %), ash ranged from (12.7 to 18.0 %), fiber ranged from (8.5 to 15.8 %), fat ranged from (2.7 to 5.4 %) and the available carbohydrates ranged from (45.1 to 54.3 %). There was significance difference (p<0.05) in protein, ash, crude fiber, and carbohydrates. The mineral compositions were as follows: Potassium (183.0 to 183.7 mg/g), magnesium ranged from (162.3 to 194.5 mg/g), calcium ranged from (105.6 to 207.3 mg/g), copper ranged from (67.9 to 747.1 mg/g) and sodium ranged from (315.4 to 346.2 mg/g). Vitamin C ranged from (3.25 to 3.37 mg/g), saponin ranged from (10.74 to11.58 mg/g) and tannin (1.93 to 2.73 mg/g). Unpickled garden egg was scored higher in all of the sensory attributes. Conclusively, although pickling improves the nutritional composition of garden egg, and reduces the anti-nutritional content, the raw samples were preferred.

Abstract

Starch is a glucose polysaccharide which includes amylose and amylopectin. Natural starch in its utilization has several weaknesses so that modified starch begins to develop, one of which is MOCAF. MOCAF is a modified cassava flour by fermentation using lactic acid bacteria (BAL). The weakness of natural starch is become thicky when the food processing at high temperature and acidic conditions. MOCAF is expected to be able to provide solutions for food processing at high temperatures and acidic conditions. This research was conducted to determine the gelatinization profile of MOCAF during processing at several pH levels. Physical properties of the MOCAF firstly were analyzed including water, starch, amylose, and amylopectin content. After that, the MOCAF gelatinization profile was measured using a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA), with observation parameters namely peak viscosity (PV), minimum viscosity (MV), breakdown (BD), final viscosity (FV), setback (SB), pasting temperature (PT), and peak time (Ptime). The results showed that the acidic conditions affected the gelatinization profile of the starch. In the sample which was mixed with citrate buffer solution pH 3 showed the highest peak viscosity (4206.4 cP) and breakdown (3047.6 cP), while the lowest minimum viscosity (1158.6 cP), final viscosity (1604.0 cP), setback (445.2 cP), pasting temperature (74.28°C), and peak time (4.31 minutes). Thus, the low-pH processed MOCAF has the lowest viscosity stability and retrogradability.

Abstract

Increased commercialization of indigenous fermented foods requires availability of affordable starter cultures. The starters should also maintain functionality when stored at ambient conditions, especially where erratic power supply makes constant refrigeration unachievable. This study evaluated the survival of Lactobacillus plantarum MNC 21 starter culture air-dried (at 25 or 30°C) in sorghum flour and stored at 25°C for 30 days. Two sorghum varieties (malted and un-malted) were used. To determine their fermentation efficiency during storage, sterile sorghum malt slurries were inoculated with the dried culture and fermented at 30°C for 24 h. Acidification potential was determined at 5 days intervals by measuring microbial counts, pH and titratable acidity. Microbial concentrations dropped from 8-9 log cfu/g on day 0 to 1 log cfu/g on day 30. Sorghum variety and whether it was malted or un-malted did not affect culture survival. Culture dried at 25°C had better survival during the first 10 days (8-9 log cfu/g) than that dried at 30°C (8 log cfu/g) but survival between days 20-30 was similar (1-4 log cfu/g). The acidification potential (ability to reduce pH to ≤4.5) decreased with storage time: 4 h (day 0), 24 h (day 15), > 24 h (day 20) to no acidification (days 25-30). Air drying of starter cultures in sorghum flours coupled with storage at ambient temperatures could be adopted as a short-term preservation method. This low-cost technology is suitable for processors in developing countries where maintenance of a cold chain is hampered by unreliable electricity supply.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has indirectly forced people to adapt to the new normal, doing activities outside the home with proper health protocols or not leaving the house to reduce the spread of the virus; this also affects food consumption and sedentary behavior. For some people, the pandemic causes anxiety and even stress. The design of this study was cross cross-sectional, using a survey method online with Google Form carried out from April to September 2021. Descriptive analysis was conducted on 1185 respondents who are currently studying at universities in Indonesia., The results of the study stated that the pandemic had an impact on Indonesian students. This survey researched the differences in eating habits, changes in body weight, and lifestyle in Indonesian students based on where they lived during the Covid-19 pandemic. From the results of data analysis, it is known that most of the respondents experienced changes in body weight during the Covid-19 pandemic, whether they lived together or alone. However, more than half of the respondents have a habit of weighing their body weight irregularly. The results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic influenced eating habits, lifestyle, and changes in body weight. The community, especially students, both living alone (dormitory/boarding/apartments) or living with family or relatives should have sufficient knowledge and attitudes about nutrition to maintain unwanted weight changes during the pandemic.

Abstract

Beneng taro is an indigenous tuber that grows in Pandeglang, Banten. People of Pandeglang only use it in form of fried and steamed. The weakness of beneng taro is the oxalate content is very high, to reduce it, people of Pandeglang soak it in 1% salt solution for 1 hour. Another effort to utilize beneng taro that has been done is to process it into flour. Beneng taro contains functional compounds including carotenoid pigments and dietary fiber. The use of  beneng taro in food can increase product functionality and as a form of food diversification. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding beneng taro flour to muffins on the physical and sensory characteristics. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with one factor, namely the concentration of substituted beneng taro flour (0%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%). This research was carried out in two duplicates. The result of this research are the increase of beneng taro flour substitution in muffins decrease the expansion ratio, water content, lightness (L*) of the crust and crumb, a* chromaticity of the crust, b* chromaticity of the crust and crumb, hue (oh) of the crust and crumb, and sensory acceptance. However, The increase of beneng taro flour substitution increased density of dough, density of muffin, and a* chromaticity of the crumb. Based on the results of sensory analysis, the muffin formula substituted with 15% beneng taro flour was the best formula because it was close to the control muffin.
