Penyederhanaan Informasi Nilai Gizi Pangan Olahan Menggunakan Indeks Nutrient-Rich Foods

Healthy diet is an effort to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The use of scientific terms on nutrition information panels (NIP) is complicated and difficult to understand, so that it becomes an obstacle in delivering accurate nutritional information for consumers. Nutrients-Rich Foods (NRFn,3) Index provides an alternative to simplify NIP. In general, nutrient-rich foods are asso-ciated with high-priced products. This study aimed to analyze correlation between NRFn,3 index with nutrients fulfillment and price of products. NIP of dairy products and their analogues were used as research samples. The NRFn,3 index was determined using two calculation bases, 100 kcal and 100 g of ready-to-consume products. NRF12,3 index score in ready-to-drink (RTD) milk and instant powdered milk positively correlated with the fulfillment of 11 nutrients to encourage. The average NRF12,3 index score per 100 g of instant powdered milk was 91, higher than RTD milk which was only 76. As nutrient-dense foods, they had an index score of NRF12,3 per 100 kcal that was higher per 100 g. Products with higher NRF12,3 index scores tended to be marketed at higher price than that of lower ones.

Aplikasi Pre-Heating dan Edible Coating untuk Peningkatan Kualitas Keripik Kentang

This study aimed to improve the crispness and to reduce oil absorption in potato chips. Potato chips crispness was improved by applying pre-heating, namely boiling and steaming before frying, while oil absorption was reduced by adding acacia gum as an edible coating. Boiling and steaming was conducted at 100°C for 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 minutes. Acacia gum (0, 3, 4, 5, and 6%) and calcium chloride (0, 0.5, and 1%) were added in the formulation. Boiling for 4 minutes yielded hardness of 384.902±25.10 g, moisture content of 3.02±0.07%, crispness score of 5.04±0.60 (crispy), and overall hedonic score of 5.10±1.43 (somewhat like). Further process by adding acacia gum 5% and calcium chloride 1% yielded potato chips with fat content of 28.01±1.56%, oil absorption ratio of 0.32±0.03, moisture content of 1.07±0.78%, and hardness level of 411.111±25.32 g. The products recuded oil absorption during frying up to 41.81±5.86%.

Karakterisasi Sensori Cheese Tea dengan Metode Check All That Apply (CATA), Emotional Sensory Mapping (ESM), dan Ideal Profile Method (IPM)

Cheese tea is a drink made from a combination of tea and cheese foam. This product is very popular today, and some businesses are interested in developing this product. The objective of this research is to identify the sensory profile of cheese tea through new methods in sensory evaluation: IPM, CATA and ESM. The CATA method is used to define the sensory profile and emotional characteristics of the cheese tea product and the IPM method is used to optimize the product by collecting the ideal customer information. The number of panelists used for each test was 30. The selection was based on the frequency of cheese tea consumption 1 to 2 times per week. Attributes will be gained via the focus group discussion (FGD). CATA data analysis was processed using XLSTAT software with CATA Analysis tools while IPM data was processed with SensTools.Net applications with tools for IPA analysis. The cheese tea products most favored by customers based on the outcome of the CATA are products with a sweet scent, a milky aroma, cheesy aroma, a milky taste and a sweet taste, as well as the dominant emotional 'calm'. Product cheese tea C is the nearest product to its ideal product characteristics. In order to further improve the product “cheese tea C”, it is necessary to boost the strength of the characteristics of the creamy mouthfeel, the viscosity of the mouthfeel and the aroma of the cheese while at the same time reducing the intensity of the toasted aroma, the milky aroma, the umami, the salty taste, the milky taste and the sweet taste.

Karakteristik Fisikokimia Tepung Ubi Banggai dan Aplikasinya Dalam Beras Analog

Banggai yam (Dioscorea sp) has many varieties, which is locally cultivated and consumed by people in Banggai, Central Sulawesi. Banggai yam can be processed into flour and applied as an ingre-dient in analogue rice. This study aimed to evaluate the physical and chemical composition, total phenol and antioxidant activity of banggai yam flours, and the physical properties, total phenol and antioxidant activity of their analogue rice. Five varieties of banggai yams (Harum, Banggai, Pasus, Doso, and Penus) were compared. Banggai yam flours were composed of moisture (12.21-12.74%wb), ash (2.18-2.75%db), protein (10.41-11.68%db), fat (1.05-3.38%db), and carbohydrate (83.22-85.77%db). All banggai flours had different color (L, a, and b values) intensities, and contained starch (65.38-68.40% db) with amylose content of 38.96-45.09% (db). The total phenol ranged from 30.48-116.90 mg GAE/ 100 g, and showed antioxidant activity (58.71-89.50% inhibition). The pasting profile varied among five yam flours. The initial pasting temperatures of banggai yam flour were relatively high (82.5-83.7°C). All banggai yam flour increased in viscosity up to a peak and experienced slight viscosity breakdown during the heating phase, as well as showed a setback viscosity during cooling phase. Rice analogue of yam flours made by extrusion technology had a relatively low bulk density (0.47-0.56 g/mL), and required a long cooking time (7-9 minutes). The rice analog had different levels of total phenol and antioxidant activities. The level of total phenol and antioxidant activity of analogue rice from Harum yam showed the highest compared to those other analogue rice.

This study aims to obtain the number of consumption portions (g) of sweet potato and potato variations of bingke which have a low glycemic load (GL) value. GL is the glycemic load of a food after being consumed at a certain amount. The GL value is determined from the glycemic index (GI) value and the carbohydrate content per serving. The glycemic index is food categorization (low, medium, high) based on its speed in increasing glucose levels in the blood. Diabetes mellitus sufferers are advised to pay attention to food consumption based on food categories, especially those with low GI values.
