Marshmallow belongs to a high-calorie food that requires a low-calorie substitute for sucrose, one of which is sorbitol. Marshmallow has the potential to become a functional food with the addition of inulin contained within white sweet potatoes. Inulin refers to a type of fructan carbohydrate which contains fiber and has the potential as a prebiotic that is beneficial for the human’s body. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of white sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) inulin extract and sorbitol on the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristic of marshmallows and to obtain the best marshmallow’s formula through white sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) inulin extract and sorbitol addition. The completely randomized design method (CRD) applied in this study consisted of one factor, namely the difference in formulation between the concentration of white sweet potato inulin extract (2% and 3%) and the concentration of sorbitol (25%, 50%, and 75%). The statistical analysis utilized the One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method using SPSS. The results of this study indicated that the addition of white sweet potato inulin extract and sorbitol had a significant effect on tensile strength, density, moisture content, ash content, total calories, dietary fiber, and organoleptic characteristics of marshmallows. The best formula for marshmallows was formula 4 with the addition of 2% white sweet potato inulin extract and 50% sorbitol.

<p>Penyimpanan ubi jalar di daerah infrastruktur terbatas yang mengutamakan kesederhanaan teknologi dan kemurahan biaya diupayakan dengan menggunakan bahan-bahan lokal yang tersedia seperti pasir, jerami dan serbuk gergaji. Selama penyimpanan, kandungan nutrisi di dalam ubi jalar berpotensi mengalami perubahan, khususnya kandungan air dan pati sehingga memengaruhi mutu ubi jalar. Umur simpan ubi jalar ditandai dengan pembusukan, berupa penurunan mutu dan tanda-tanda penyakit yang disebabkan oleh mikroorganisme. Penelitian ini bertujuan melakukan identifikasi dan analisis teknologi terbaik dengan memperhatikan perubahan kadar air dan pati serta penyakit yang menjadi penentu perubahan mutu ubi jalar. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak lengkap dengan 4 taraf perlakuan penyimpanan yaitu di dalam tanah dengan alas tumpukan pasir-jerami (P1), di dalam tanah dengan alas tumpukan plastik-jerami (P2), di dalam kotak kayu dengan taburan serbuk gergaji (P3) dan di ruang gudang dengan alas terpal (P4). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode penyimpanan memberikan pengaruh terhadap suhu dan RH ruang penyimpanan dengan nilai masing-masing adalah 28,72 oC dan 78.55% (P1), 28,85 oC dan 78,51% (P2), 29,54 oC dan 73,15% (P3), serta 29,61 oC dan 68.07% (P4). Kadar air dan pati mengalami penurunan selama penyimpanan pada semua perlakuan hingga akhir penyimpanan dengan kadar terendah pada perlakuan P4 yang masing-masing sebesar 58,96 dan 11,35%. Sedangkan penyakit yang dapat diidentifikasi pada penelitian ini adalah busuk Fusarium pada penyimpanan P4 dan penyakit java black rot pada penyimpanan P2. Berdasarkan metode pendugaan umur simpan, maka penyimpanan di dalam tanah dengan alas tumpukan pasir-jerami (P1) merupakan metode terbaik dengan umur simpan diduga mencapai 35 hari.</p><p align="center"><strong>English Version Abstract</strong></p><p align="center"><strong><strong>Extra Quality Sweet Potato (<em>Ipomea batatas L</em>) Fresh on the System Rural Scale Storage</strong></strong></p><p>Sweet potato storage in areas with limited infrastructure which focuses on a simple and low-cost technology is conducted by using local materials, such as sand, straw, and sawdust. During the storage period, sweetpotato’s nutrition content will potentially deteriorate, particularly in moisture and starch content. This will eventually affect the quality of sweetpotato. The shelf life of sweetpotato is marked by the spoilage in the form of quality deterioration and some noticeable signs of diseases, most of which are induced by microorganism. This study aimed to study the best technology to evaluate quality change, diseases and shelf life of sweetpotato. The experimental design used was completely randomized design of 4 factors by using various storage ways, i.e. underground storage with sand-straw (P1), underground storage with plastic-straw (P2), inside a wooden box with sprinkling of sawdust (P3), and inside a warehouse with a tarpoulin mat (P4). The results showed that the storage treatments influenced the temperature and RH in a storage room with the values as follows: 8.72 ° C and 78.55% (P1), 28.85 C and 78.51% (P2), 29.54 and 73.15 ° C % (P3), and 29.61 ° C and 68.07% (P4). Moisture and starch contents in sweet potato significantly decreased until the end of storage in which the lowest levels were found in P4 treatment, 58.96 % water content and 11.35 % starch. Postharvest diseases found in sweet potato during research were Fusarium rot (P4) and java black rot (P2). In conclusion, underground storage with sand-straw (P1) was selected as the best method to minimize rate of decreasing moisture and starch contents in sweetpotato with the longest storage period estimated of 35 days.</p>

Retnati, Andriani MAM, Fauza G. 2009. The influence of addition of various sweet potatoes (Ipomea batatas) extract to total count of cells and antioxidant activity in yogurt. Biofarmasi 7: 68-76. The aim of this research was to determine the influence of addition of various sweet potatoes extract to the total count of cells and the antioxidant activity in yogurt. Yogurt was made from fresh milk, skim milk, white sweet potato, orange sweet potato, purple sweet potato, and pure culture of Streptococcus thermophilus 0040 and Lactobacillus bulgaricus 0041 in straight MRS agar. Fresh milk, skim milk powder (5%, b/v), and sweet potato extract (10%, v/v) was pasteurized at 90oC for 15 minutes, cooled to the temperature between 40-45oC, inoculated with 2.5% S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus with a proportion of 1.4:1, and then incubated at a temperature of 40oC for 15 hours. Yogurt without an addition of sweet potato extract was used as control. The parameters measured in this experiment were the total count of cells with TPC (Total Plate Count) method and the antioxidant activity with DPPH (2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. Samples were taken at one hour interval to examine the total count of cells, while the antioxidant activity was collected at three hours interval. The result of each analysis was plotted into graphics which describing the relation of total bacteria and antioxidant activity with fermentation time. ANOVA was employed to analyze the data. If there was a significant difference, it should be followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a significance level α=0.05. The result of this research showed that the addition of various sweet potatoes extracts increased the total count of cells and the antioxidant activity in yogurt. The total count of cells showed no significant different for each sample, it meant that the different colors in sweet potato did not influence the total count of cells. However, yogurt with orange and purple sweet potato extract addition had a significant difference on the antioxidant activity with control and yogurt with white sweet potato extract. In conclusion, the difference colors in sweet potato influenced in the antioxidant activity in yogurt significantly. Sweet potato is potential for milk substitute in yogurt production due to oligosaccharide content and antioxidant activity.
