Abstract

Arabica coffee is a coffee commodity that is widely found in Indonesia because it is considered superior in terms of taste. Arabica coffee contains various biochemical compounds, one of which is caffeine, which is known to overcome drowsiness and reduce physical fatigue. However, caffeine use can also lead to negative side effects, such as anxiety, increased blood pressure, and decreased fine motor skills. This study addresses the public demand for lower caffeine coffee to minimize these side effects. The research focuses on reducing caffeine levels by examining coffee bean size and solvent concentration during decaffeination. . The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial pattern with two factors and two replications. The first factor was coffee bean particle size (4 mesh, 6 mesh, and 8 mesh) and the second factor was maceration process with citric acid solution concentration (1%, 3%, and 5%). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Varience (ANOVA) and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The results showed that the treatment of 8 mesh coffee bean size with 5% citric acid solution concentration produced the best caffeine content (1.324 mg/g). In addition, the characteristic values of moisture content (3.436%), ash content (2.065%), and phenol content (29.472 mg GAE/g), were obtained. And organoleptic test results with attributes of fragrant-very fragrant aroma (3.55), blackish-brown-black color (3.65), and bitter-very bitter taste (3.5).

Abstract

Sensory evaluation is a crucial activity in food product development and affects consumer preference, particularly for flake products. Flakes are foods in the form of thin or flaky pieces, generally made from cereal grains. The raw materials used in this study are purple sweet potato flour, which is high in starch (74.57%), and edamame flour, which is high in protein (36.15%). Different formulations will affect the formation of sensory attributes and characteristics of flake products. The sensory evaluation method used in this study is the Just About Right (JAR) method, aimed at analyzing the sensory attributes of flake samples that influence overall liking assessment (p-value < 0.05; panelist response percentage > 20%; and high mean drops), in order to determine the most optimal product formulation. Sensory evaluation of the product was conducted by testing 13 attributes using JAR and hedonic scales (overall liking). The data obtained were processed using XLSTAT 2024 software. Based on the analysis results, the F2 flake product formulation (80% Purple Sweet Potato Flour: 20% Edamame Flour) is the most optimal product formulation, where the attributes that need optimization are taste (Earthy – Sweet, p-value = 0.027) and aftertaste (Earthy, p-value = 0.0003).
