Use and nutritional value of cassava roots and leaves as a traditional food

Abstract French physical chemist, Hervé This, first proposed Note by Note (NbN) cooking in 1994. It is an application of molecular gastronomy and involves the use of compounds, either pure or in mixtures, rather than traditional food ingredients to make dishes. A review of international activities, relating to NbN cooking and cuisine, reveals that it has the potential to contribute to the creation of bespoke foods and drinks, e.g., by using ingredients which are sustainable and which provide nutritional value. However the ‘food neophobia’ of some consumers needs to be overcome to ensure its success. In light of these findings, it was decided to explore if and how the factors of food neophobia, sustainability and nourishment influenced students when they were developing their NbN dishes/drinks for their module assignment in TU Dublin. One hundred and five students at TU Dublin have, since 2013, completed NbN assignments and their corresponding reports which provide details of the development of their dishes/drinks. Eighty-seven of these were available for analysis. It was found that the majority of the students (62%) were inspired by traditional foods to create bespoke NbN dishes/drinks, helping to address the ‘food neophobia’ of some consumers. The development of one of these dishes and one of these drinks is discussed. This information would be beneficial for others who will be developing NbN dishes/drinks.

Two Stages

Gresik is well known as one of the Islamic based tourism towns in East Java. This Islamic tourism encourages the development of typical souvenirs business in Gresik especially in food sector. Some Gresik traditional food are often used as souvenirs, such as pudak, jubung, and ayas. High sale promotes product innovation, especially in terms of taste creations, preservation / shelf life, as well as packaging. Unfortunately, these product innovation have not been supported with information related to product nutritional value. The nutritional value is important, considering the usage of information in food labelling as well as for the materials, process and packaging basic innovation. The study of Gresik traditional food nutritional value products consists of two stages, they were field-related observation and laboratory testing. Field observations were done to obtain information on raw materials and production processes from pudak, jubung and ayas. As for the test of nutritional value was done by proximate test. The results showed that pudak has moisture content (55.6%) twice higher than jubung and ayas (25.0% and 22.7%, respectively). All three products have a low fat content, which was below 1.0 g per serving. The protein content is also relatively low, i.e. only 2.1-2.8%. All three of these products are carbohydrate sources with the amount of 40.8-73.4% which gives a caloric amount of 120-185 kcal per serving. Implementation of nutritional information in food label could also give added value to the product.

Abstract. Srimariana ES, Apituley DAN. 2019. Antioxidant activity of extracted green algae silpau (Dyctyosphaeria versluysii). Nusantara Bioscience 11: 153-156. Silpau (Dictyosphaeria versluysii) is a green algae that is widely available in Southwest Moluccas regency, living on coral reefs and not classified as seasonal plants. Silpau has long been used by local people, generally in the form of processed vegetables or colo-colo (traditional food). Except for its nutritional value, comprehensive information about silpau still unknown. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine its potential as an antioxidant. The phytochemical content of silpau was analyzed according to the standard method. The antioxidant activity of green algae silpau extract was carried out by reducing DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radicals. Phytochemical test of silpau revealed that silpau contain terpenoid compounds. The result of the study showed that the IC50 value of methanol extract of silpau was 547.97 ppm, indicated that silpau methanol extract categorized as a weak antioxidant.

Indonesia has various traditional foods, some of which are the result of acculturation with other countries’ foods. Sangga buwana is the Javanese-Dutch influenced cuisine, which became one of the favorite dishes of the sultans of Yogyakarta. Till date, the publication about sangga buwana is still limited. This paper aimed to introduce and spread the knowledge about sangga buwana as the result of food acculturation, focusing on its history, philosophy, how it is prepared, and its nutritional value. The study was carried out through interviews with the experts and literature review. Sangga buwana consists of several components, including choux pastry, ragout, lettuce, boiled egg, Javanese mustard, and pickled vegetables. Sangga buwana itself and every component to prepare it have the meaningful philosophy about God’s creations. It delivers important wishes and meanings to the newlywed couple in royal wedding ceremony. It was only served to the sultan, royal family of Yogyakarta, and their important guests. But nowadays, sangga buwana can be more easily found at restaurants, traditional markets or food festivals in Yogyakarta. The cultural preservation of sangga buwana has been conducted through cultural festivals, cooking workshops, and research development using local ingredients to prepare it which may support food diversification

Rabbit Meat

Rabbit meat is a component of traditional diets, often incorporated into iconic dishes of regional cuisine. Its consumption can be traced back to the ancient civilisations of the Mediterranean and beyond, well into the Palaeolithic era. Even though it has been representing considerable nutritional and cultural value for millennia, a decline in consumption is now noticeable. Specific categorial dynamics are at play, related to the various superimposed roles of rabbits as livestock, game, pests, laboratory animals and pets. Their perceived cuteness in particular can lead to emotional responses that are hard to reconcile with the sensitivities of the post-domestic paradigm. Such effects compromise the acceptability of rabbit meat in contemporary Western societies that are typified by problematic human-animal interactions and a disconnect from the food chain. Young and urban populations in particular now seem to have difficulties facing the notion that food production requires the killing of animals. As a result, a traditional food source risks becoming irrelevant despite its high nutritional value and potential for sustainable meat production, due to reasons that are emotive rather than rational.

The background of this research, which is based on the phenomenon that occurs related to the pattern of eating habits during the post-disaster in volcano-prone locations in North Sulawesi. Traditional food thinness based on previous research is a nutritious meal required pregnant and nursing mothers, but the initial prescription model of the recipe requires as many as nine basic ingredients of local food that is difficult to fulfill in a state Post-disaster mountain eruptions. The purpose of this research is to produce a model of Tinutuan by observing one local foodstuffs that should not be eliminated and the content of nutritional value similar to the initial prescription. However, modifying it with local foodstuffs is located at the location of the volcano Soputan and Lokon. The research method that has been used is a research development. The results showed that organoleptic tests on ten post-disaster model models of most respondents were more fond of the model containing vegetable. The taste, color, aroma, texture, and appearance of each Tinutuan model remain the same from the initial recipe. Simpulan new prescription model with the use of local food in a mountainous area prone to erupting remains a traditional food that is liked and meets the nutritional needs of pregnant and nursing mothers. It is advisable to create an instant Tinutuan model for nutritional fullness in volcano-prone volcanic locations erupting.

Measurement Results

The article raises the problem of ensuring metrological traceability of the measurement results of indicators of quality and nutritional value for food products and food raw materials: water (moisture), nitrogen (protein, crude protein), fat, ash and carbohydrates. The problem under consideration can be solved by applying reference materials of food composition, traceable to state primary measurement standards GET 173-2017 and GET 176-2019 and primary reference measurement procedures (PRMP), for attestation of measurement procedures and accuracy checking of measurement results. The article discusses the results of the PRMP development of mass fraction of fat, ash and carbohydrates in food products and food raw materials, as well as mass fraction of crude fat (oil content) in oil crops seeds and products based on them. The paper also presents metrological characteristics of reference materials of composition of dry dairy products, grain-milk dry porridges for nutrition of babies, grain dry porridges for nutrition of babies, egg powder, freeze-dried meat products, animal feed. The results of the work allow for building a chain of metrological traceability from GET 173-2017, GET 176-2019 and PRMP to routine measurement procedures, thereby ensuring the uniformity of measurements of nutritional value of food products.
