Abstract

Background: Plant-based ice cream made from soy milk has the potential to serve as a lactose-free functional food alternative; however, it often exhibits limitations in texture and sensory acceptance. The addition of whipped cream is expected to improve the physical and sensory characteristics of plant-based ice cream products. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different ratios of soybean milk to whipping cream on the physical and sensory characteristics of carrot and soybean milk ice cream and to determine the best formulation. Method: The research was conducted from may to July 2025 at the food processing laboratory, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Udayana University. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used with four treatments:P0 (100% Soybean milk:0% whipping cream), P1 (90%:10%), P2 (70%:30%) and P3 (50%:50%), each replicated three times. Observed variables included overrun, melting time, and sensory attributes such as aroma, texture, color, sweetness, mouthfeel, carrot flavor, soybean flavor, and overall acceptance, evaluated using scoring and hedonic tests by 30 semi-trained panelists. Result: Results showed that the soybean milk and whipping cream ratio significantly affected overrun, melting time, color, texture, mouthfeel, and overall acceptance. The highest overrun was obtained in P3(50.10%), while P0 recorded the lowest (14.41%). The melting time increased with higher whipping cream proportions, from 14.17 minutes in P0 to 110.81 minutes in P3. Sensory evaluation revealed significant differences in color, texture, mouthfeel, and overall acceptance, but no significant differences in aroma, sweetness, carrot flavor, and soybean flavor. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated that P2 (70% soybean milk:30% whipping cream) produced the most preferred ice cream, characterized by a soft texture, creamy mouthfeel and the highest acceptance score. These findings suggest that optimizing the ratio of soybean milk and whipping cream can improve the quality and sensory properties of plant-based ice cream.

Abstract

Background: The development of functional foods has encouraged innovation in traditional Indonesian products so that they provide not only nutritional value but also physiological health benefits. Dawet ayu, a starch-based traditional beverage, has potential to be developed into a functional drink by incorporating natural antioxidant sources, one of which is torch ginger (Etlingera elatior). Aim: This study aimed to develop dawet ayu as a traditional functional beverage with high antioxidant activity through the addition of torch ginger flower powder. Methods: The powder was produced using the foam-mat drying method to preserve bioactive compounds and was then applied in dawet formulations at various concentrations. The analyzed parameters included pH, color (L*, a*, b*), and antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. Results: The results showed that the addition of torch ginger powder had no significant effect on the color and pH of dawet ayu, but significantly increased antioxidant activity, with the IC₅₀ value decreasing from 739.3 ppm to 100.2 ppm at the highest concentration. The increase in antioxidant activity was attributed to the phenolic, flavonoid, and anthocyanin compounds present in torch ginger. These findings indicate that dawet ayu enriched with torch ginger powder has strong potential as a locally sourced functional beverage with both health and economic benefits. This product can be further developed as a natural-based functional drink.

Abstract

Background: Cheese is generally made from animal milk using rennet enzyme as a coagulant. However, consuming animal cheese carries the risk of increasing cholesterol due to its high saturated fat content. In addition, not everyone can consume animal protein due to allergies. Purpose: This study aims to develop a plant-based cheese product based on peanut milk by utilizing pineapple peel and stem as a natural coagulant. Method: The study design used a non-factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with four formulations: K1 (500 mL peanut milk: 500 mL pineapple peel-stem extract), K2 (500:450 mL), K3 (500:400 mL), and K4 (500:350 mL), each repeated three times. Observed variables included organoleptic properties (color, aroma, taste, texture). Organoleptic assessment by semi-trained panelists showed that formulation K1 had the highest scores for color (3.50), aroma (2.67), and texture (3.11), while K3 had the highest taste attribute with a score of 3.03. Result: The results of the ANOVA analysis for the organoleptic tests of color, aroma, taste, and texture show a p-value > 0.05, indicating no significant difference among the treatments applied. This study demonstrates that pineapple peel and core can be used as effective natural coagulants in the production of plant-based cheese made from peanut milk.

Abstract

Background: Food diversification based on local resources is essential to reduce dependence on rice while improving the nutritional and functional quality of alternative staple foods. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of four analog rice formulations: those based on modified cassava flour (mocaf) (BA1), rice grits flour (BA2), and both materials supplemented with skim milk and konjac glucomannan (KGM) (BA3 and BA4). Method: The experiment was conducted using a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments differing in base material and functional ingredient addition. Analog rice was produced through an extrusion process, followed by analyses of proximate composition, starch content, total sugars, dietary fiber, starch and protein digestibility, mineral content (sodium and potassium), color parameters (L*, a*, b*), water activity (Aw), and sensory evaluation by 40 untrained panelists. Result: The results showed that BA1 exhibited higher moisture content, dietary fiber, and potassium levels, along with lower Aw and sodium content, compared to BA2. In contrast, BA2 demonstrated higher protein content, energy value, and lightness (L*) than BA1. The incorporation of skim milk and KGM in BA3 and BA4 significantly affected most measured parameters, increasing moisture, ash, protein, total sugar, and soluble fiber contents, while reducing starch content, insoluble fiber, starch and protein digestibility, and energy value. Sensory evaluation indicated that BA1 outperformed BA2 in terms of texture and stickiness, whereas the addition of skim milk and KGM—particularly in BA3—significantly enhanced overall acceptability, flavor, and aroma. These findings suggest that the combination of mocaf, skim milk, and konjac glucomannan produces analog rice with improved functional and organoleptic properties, highlighting its potential as a locally sourced alternative staple food.

Abstract

Background: Klepon is a traditional snack made from glutinous rice flour with brown sugar filling and has a small green round shape. The brown sugar flavor dominates so it is considered monotonous and the green color is from synthetic dyes so it is considered harmful to health. Cinnamon has a distinctive flavor and can act as an antioxidant, while butterfly pea flowers contain anthocyanins that can act as natural dyes and have antioxidant activity. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of adding cinnamon powder on sensory characteristics, antioxidant activity, total reducing sugars, and texture of butterfly pea flower klepon. Method: This research method used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD), namely the addition of cinnamon powder concentrations to the klepon filling of 0, 5, 10, and 15 % (w/w). Result: The results of the study showed that the best hedonic test results were in the treatment of adding 5% cinnamon powder concentration (P1) with an aroma value of 5.56 (like), color 5.73 (like), texture 5.40 (rather like), taste 5.53 (like), and overall acceptance 5.66 (like). Based on the results of the scoring test, it was found that the addition of cinnamon powder had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the aroma and taste of butterfly pea flower klepon. The follow-up test showed that the addition of cinnamon powder had a significant effect on antioxidant activity, but no significant effect on the total reducing sugar content of butterfly pea klepon.

Abstract

Background: Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.) is one of Indonesia’s leading spice commodities and is widely cultivated in the eastern regions of the country as well as several areas in southern Java. The quality of nutmeg seeds plays a crucial role in determining the quality of the oil produced; therefore, evaluating the characteristics of local nutmeg in comparison with industrial standards is essential. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the characteristics of local nutmeg seeds and oil with industrial standards based on physical and chemical parameters. Method: Industrial-standard nutmeg seeds of low, medium, and high quality were obtained from Piru, Maluku, while local nutmeg seeds were collected from Majenang and Banjarpatroman. Nutmeg oil was extracted using a mechanical pressing method involving shell removal, seed crushing, heating at 50–55°C, and oil pressing. Analyses were conducted on moisture content, pH, color parameters (L*, a*, and b*), free fatty acid (FFA) content, and acid value. Result: The results showed that local Banyumas nutmeg seeds had a higher moisture content than industrial-standard nutmeg seeds. In addition, local nutmeg oil exhibited higher FFA content and acid value, indicating lower oil quality. The color characteristics of local nutmeg seeds and oil also showed greater variation than those of the standard samples, reflecting differences in postharvest handling and processing practices. Overall, the physical and chemical characteristics of local nutmeg seeds and oil differed from industrial standards. Therefore, improved management practices, ranging from cultivation and postharvest handling to processing, are required to produce nutmeg oil that meets industrial quality standards.
