Objective: This study aimed to obtain a formula with an optimal sweetener concentration of beet extract that can cover the bitter taste of bitter melonand confer optimal physical properties on the syrup.Methods: The syrups were prepared by mixing bitter melon extract, sucrose, beet extract, sorbitol, sodium benzoate, strawberry essence, anddemineralized water. The control formula and formulas 1, 2, and 3 contained beet extract at concentrations of 0% and 10%, 15%, and 20%, respectively.All formulas were evaluated to determine their physical properties, stability, and bitterness. The bitterness was tested on 30 respondents, with databeing analyzed using Wilcoxon’s test on SPSS software.Results and Conclusion: Formula 3 with 20% beet extract was identified as the best formula for masking bitter taste because it had a significantlybetter average value than the other formulas (p<0.05) and the highest bitterless taste percentage (86.67%), with physical properties of a brownishblackcolor, odor of mixture of strawberry and dominant beet, a sweet and dominant beet taste, pH 5.46, and specific gravity of 1.228 g/mL.

Objective: This study is aimed to develop a strategy to mask the bitter taste of Momordica charantia Linn. extract using alginate–gelatin beads.Methods: Beads of bitter melon fruit extract (M. charantia Linn) were prepared using an ionic gelation method in which cross-linking occurs betweensodium alginate and calcium chloride that serves to mask the bitter taste. Beads were prepared using sodium alginate (1.5% w/v) with variousconcentrations of bitter melon fruit extract (1:2, 1:1, and 1:0.5), gelatin (2% w/v), and CaCl2 3%. The obtained beads were then characterized bothphysically and functionally, and their morphology, process efficiency, particle distribution, swelling index, and water content were recorded.Results: Formula 1 beads, with a 1:2 ratio of extract: alginate, displayed a near-round shape with a diameter of 600–1 200 μm, a swelling index of113.21%, and a moisture content of 15.34%. In addition, these beads were able to significantly cover the bitter taste (p<0.05).Conclusion: Formula 1 beads with a 1:2 ratio of extract: alginate can effectively mask the bitter taste of M. charantia Linn.
