Abstract

This study examines consumer preferences for snack bar attributes in Surabaya using the conjoint analysis method. The research aims to identify key product attributes that influence purchasing decisions and provide recommendations for manufacturers to develop healthier snack bar products. Data were collected through a survey of 100 purposively selected respondents. The study analyzed attributes such as flavor, texture, composition, packaging, weight, and price, evaluating 16 stimulus combinations using a Likert scale. The findings indicate that consumers prefer snack bars with a sweet taste, sticky texture, single-pack packaging, a weight of 25 grams, and a price above Rp10,000. Conjoint analysis reveals that price and taste exert the greatest influence on consumer preferences. These insights offer valuable guidance for snack bar manufacturers in optimizing product development and enhancing market competitiveness.

Abstract

Macaroni is a widely popular pasta product traditionally made from durum semolina wheat flour, which contains high levels of gluten. In this study, gluten-free macaroni was developed using alternative flour sources. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different proportions of tapioca flour, rice flour, and corn flour, along with the addition of anchovy flour and xanthan gum, on the physical (rehydration capacity and cooking loss) and organoleptic (color, aroma, taste, and texture) characteristics of gluten-free macaroni. A factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors and two replications was used. Factor I was the proportion of tapioca flour, rice flour, and corn flour (55:35:10 g, 60:20:20 g, and 65:5:30 g). Factor II was the xanthan gum concentration (1%, 2%, 3%). If a significant difference was detected, further analysis was conducted using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level, followed by a hedonic organoleptic evaluation using the Friedman test. The results demonstrated a significant interaction between flour composition and xanthan gum concentration on rehydration capacity, which ranged from 100.52% to 105.47%, and cooking loss, which averaged between 1.28% and 3.19%. Organoleptic evaluation revealed significant differences in color and texture, while taste and aroma were not significantly affected. These findings suggest that optimizing flour composition and xanthan gum concentration can enhance the quality of gluten-free macaroni, providing an alternative for individuals with gluten intolerance. Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 2: Zero Hunger by promoting the diversification of food sources, SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being) by providing a gluten-free alternative beneficial for individuals with gluten intolerance, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production by utilizing locally available, nutrient-rich ingredients such as anchovy flour. Developing gluten-free macaroni not only supports dietary diversity but also contributes to sustainable food production and improved public health.

Abstract

Rice crackers are a popular snack made from rice flour, typically characterized by a moisture content of less than 3%. The incorporation of moringa, torbangun, and katuk leaves in their formulation is based on their high iron content, which can help reduce iron deficiency. Additionally, xanthan gum is added to enhance the texture of the final product. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different leaf types and xanthan gum concentrations on the nutritional properties of rice crackers. A factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed, with two factors and two replications. Factor I was the type of leaf (moringa, torbangun, and katuk), while Factor II was the xanthan gum concentration (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level, and significant interactions were further examined using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5%. The results indicated that the type of leaf and xanthan gum concentration had a significant effect (P<0.01) on moisture, ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrate content. The highest moisture (2.93%), ash (3.12%), and protein (1.29%) contents were observed in rice crackers containing moringa leaf and 1.5% xanthan gum. The highest fat content (6.10%) was found in moringa leaf rice crackers with 0.5% xanthan gum, while the highest carbohydrate content (82.55%) was recorded in torbangun leaf rice crackers with 1% xanthan gum. These findings highlight the potential of incorporating iron-rich leaves and xanthan gum to improve the nutritional quality and textural properties of rice crackers.
