The purpose of this study was to determine the acceptability, nutritional content, and shelf life of cookies based on millet flour as a functional food. This type of research is a laboratory-based descriptive. Formulation cookies flour of millet is distinguished by the addition of flavorings nature of which includes millet flour cookies without additional flavorings (F1), banana flavor millet flour cookies (F2), spice flavor millet flour cookies (F3) and chocolate flavor millet flour cookies (F4). Data collection procedure was carried out by hedonic test on untrained panelists consisting of men and women aged 18-40 years as many as 25 panelists, then the selected formulations were analyzed for nutritional content and shelf life. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis analysis method and continued with the Mann-Whitney test if the treatment had a significant effect. The panelists' acceptance showed that the formulation of millet flour cookies had no significant effect (p>0.05) on the color, taste, aroma, texture and overall cookies. The F1 cookies formula without the addition of flavoring has the highest average value of the other formulas, which is 4.16 with the preferred category. The results of the proximate test on the selected cookies include water content 6.1%, ash 2.14%, protein 8.38%, fat 30.38%, carbohydrates 53.0%, fiber 2.22%, and total energy 518.98 kcal. The shelf life of cookies using the Arrhenius approach is 14 days at a temperature of 250C, 370C, and a temperature of 440C with the results respectively 134.81 days (4.5 months), 79.18 days (2.6 months) and 59.14 days (1.9 months). While the results of the total microbial test showed that there was a decrease in total microbes in millet flour cookies stored in an incubator at 250C, 370C, and 440C for 4 weeks of storage, respectively 2.05 x 102, 1.05 x 102, and < 4 0.0 x 101, still meets the standard of SNI 01-2973:2011 with a maximum of 1 x 104 colonies/gram.

Durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) is an energy-dense seasonal tropical fruit grown in Southeast Asia. It is one of the most expensive fruits in the region. It has a creamy texture and a sweet-bitter taste. The unique durian flavour is attributable to the presence of fat, sugar, and volatile compounds such as esters and sulphur-containing compounds such as thioacetals, thioesters, and thiolanes, as well as alcohols. This review shows that durian is also rich in flavonoids (i.e., flavanols, anthocyanins), ascorbic acid, and carotenoids. However, limited studies exist regarding the variation in bioactive and volatile components of different durian varieties from Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. Experimental animal models have shown that durian beneficially reduces blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Durian extract possesses anti-proliferative and probiotics effects in in vitro models. These effects warrant further investigation in human interventional studies for the development of functional food.

<p align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong><strong></strong></p><p><strong><em>Latar belakang:</em></strong><em> Indonesia mempunyai tanaman yang mengandung banyak manfaat bagi kesehatan masyarakat diantaranya tanaman kelor (Moringa oleifera L.). Salah satu manfaat yang dapat diambil dari tanaman kelor terdapat pada daunnya. Masyarakat biasa menggunakan daun kelor sebagai pelengkap dalam masakan. Pemanfaatan dan pengolahan daun kelor secara luas belum banyak dilakukan di Indonesia. Hal tersebut dikarenakan kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai manfaat daun kelor untuk kesehatan, kurangnya pengetahuan dan antusiasme masyarakat dalam melakukan pemanfaatan daun kelor serta belum banyak masyarakat Indonesia yang mengonsumsinya. Untuk itu, perlu adanya inovasi dalam mengolah daun kelor menjadi suatu produk yang dapat diterima masyarakat agar kandungan nutrisi dalam daun kelor dapat dimanfaatkan oleh tubuh. Daun kelor dapat dibuat menjadi bubuk untuk mempermudah pemanfaatannya sebagai bahan pangan fungsional. Inovasi yang kami uji coba disini yaitu pemanfaatan bubuk daun kelor dalam bentuk permen jeli. Dengan memformulasikan bubuk daun kelor ke dalam formula permen jeli akan menambah nilai gizi dalam permen jeli. Selain itu, permen jeli kelor ini nantinya dapat meningkatkan pemanfaatan daun kelor (Moringa oleifera) sebagai suatu pangan fungsional yang mampu diterima oleh berbagai kalangan masyarakat terutama anak-anak.  </em></p><p> </p><br clear="ALL" /><p><strong><em>Kata kunci</em></strong><strong><em>:</em></strong><em> Moringa oleifera L.,miracle tree, bubuk daun kelor, permen jeli, kesehatan</em></p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><br /> <strong><em>Background:</em></strong><em> Indonesia has a plant that contains many benefits for the health of the community such as moringa (Moringa oleifera L.). One of the benefits that can be derived from the moringa plant is found in the leaves. Ordinary people use moringa leaves as a complement in cooking. The utilization and processing of Moringa leaves has not been widely implemented in Indonesia. This is due to the lack of community knowledge about the benefits of moringa leaves for health, lack of knowledge and enthusiasm of the community in making use of the leaves of Moringa and not many people of Indonesia who consume them. For that, the need for innovation in processing the leaves of Moringa into a product that can be accepted by the public for the nutritional content in the leaf kelor can be utilized by the body. Moringa leaves can be made into powder to facilitate its utilization as functional food. The innovation that we tested here is the utilization of powdered leaf kelor in the form of candy jelly. Formulating Moringa leaf powder into a candy jelly formula will add nutritional value to the candy jelly. In addition, this moringa jelly candy can improve the use of Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) as a functional food that can be accepted by various circles of society, especially children.</em></p><p> <br /> <strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong> <em>Moringa oleifera L., miracle tree, Moringa leaf powder, candy jelly, health</em></p>

Moringa Oleifera Lam

Moringa oleifera Lam., commonly found tree in sub-Himalayan tracts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan has a high nutrition value. The leaves, flowers and immature pods of Moringa are used as a vegetable in many countries. The leaves are highly nutritious and medicinal in nature. They are a rich source of iron, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, proteins, and essential amino acids. Hence Moringa leaves can be a good source of protein for the vegetarians and the under-nourished population. Present investigation deals with the study of monthly variation in the nutritional value of Moringa leaves from the month of June 2015 to January 2016. Impact of urban sewage pollution and roadside vehicular pollution on the amount of reducing and total sugars, chlorophylls (a, b and total), proteins, vitamin-C and pH of the leaves, was also studied. Results revealed that the highest amounts of reducing sugars, total sugars, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll during October 2015 whereas proteins, chlorophyll a, vitamin C and pH were highest during January 2016. Leaf samples collected from all the study sites exhibited minimum amounts of reducing sugars, chlorophylls (a, b and total) and pH during July 2015 whereas total sugars were lowest during December 2015. Proteins and vitamin C values were lowest during August and June 2015 respectively. Sewage and vehicular pollution showed an adverse effect on the nutritional contents of Moringa oleifera leaves. Of the two polluted sites, samples from near the sewage flow showed higher impact.

ABSTRACT Persimmon peels, though usually discarded, are useful sources of nutraceuticals. In this study, persimmon peel–derived pomolic acid was found to suppress the increase in the activity of glycerol-3 phosphate dehydrogenase, a neutral fat synthesis-related enzyme, in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, whereas oleanolic and ursolic acids did not exert this effect. Therefore, persimmon peel may be an effective functional food material.

In this study, physical and chemical properties (dry matter, ash, moisture, protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrate, starch, amylose, and vitamin C) of sweet potato tuber and flour of Anggun 1 cultivar were evaluated at different conditions. During peeling, the tuber and flour were processed subjected to three different conditions, which were unpeeled tubers (C1), peeled tubers (C2), and skin of tuber only (C3). From the results, the highest (p < 0.05) dry matter was observed in C1 while higher contents of ash, moisture, and protein were found in C3. Regarding the fat and vitamin C content, no significant differences (p > 0.05) were found between each condition. The highest fiber, carbohydrate, and amylose content (p < 0.05) were found in C1. The C1 and C2 reflected significantly higher (p < 0.05) starch content. Overall, these results provide important information about the peeling effect on the physical and chemical properties of Anggun 1. The information could be used as adding value to healthy food in the Malaysian diet due to the nutritional value of sweet potato.
