In several countries, moringa leaves are starting to be widely used in food products as an alternative to overcome malnutrition. Malnutrition occurs due to a lack of energy and protein balance which disrupt human physiological function. The lack of micronutrient intakes, such as vitamin A, iron, and zinc, can also cause malnutrition. Moringa oleifera is referred to as the most economical tree. Almost every part of the tree contains abundant nutrients and plays an important role in meeting human nutritional needs. Moringa leaves contain high protein, vitamins, and minerals, to be used as an alternative to overcome nutritional problems. Various studies have concluded that moringa leaves can be used in food products. This review aims to determine the use of moringa leaves to increase the nutritional content in food products. The addition of moringa leaf powder causes a significant increase in protein, fiber, and mineral content in several food products. The addition of moringa leaf powder with the highest concentration resulted in the best increase in protein, fat, fiber, and mineral content in several food products. However, the acceptable concentration of moringa leaf powder addition is not more than 5%. Keywords: mineral content, moringa leaf, nutrient

Robusta coffee is widely cultivated in Indonesia, and it is often processed into ground coffee. In this study, coffee jelly candy was made for product diversification of coffee. In this case, gel forming agents and sugar are needed to build jelly candy texture, aroma, and taste. The aim of this research was to study the characteristics of coffee jelly candy as affected by sucrose concentration and the ratio of carrageenan to gelatin. A completely randomized design using two factors (sucrose concentration of 40% and 60%; and gelatin to carrageenan ratio of 25:75, 50:50, and 75:25 w/w) was employed. The result showed that sucrose concentrations and gelatin to carrageenan ratio significantly (α > 5%) affected texture, color, moisture content, ash content, and organoleptic parameters (preference towards color, texture, taste, and overall). However, sucrose concentration and the ratio of gelatin to carrageenan not significantly (α < 0,05%) affect antioxidant activity and polyphenol concentration. The effectiveness test showed that coffee jelly candy with 40% sucrose concentration and the ratio of gelatin:carrageenan 50:50 had the highest score with L (lightness) value of 46.79, hardness of 54.53 g/mm, moisture content of 19.26%, ash content of 1.36%, antioxidant activity of 26.63%, total polyphenol of 0.46 mg GAE/mL, preference towards color of 5.60 (rather like), preferences towards aroma of 5.83 (rather like), preferences towards taste of 5.10 (rather like), preferences towards texture of 5.13 (rather like), and overall preference of 5.57 (rather like). Keywords: carrageenan, gelatin, jelly candy, organoleptic, robusta, sucrose

Dragon fruit peels (Hylocereus polyrhizus) are generally only considered trash by the public because they are considered useless, even though dragon fruit peels still contain useful nutrients. Dragon fruit skin can be used as food, one of which is a jam. The addition of pineapple fruit variations to dragon fruit peel jam as a flavor enhancer and natural fragrance to reduce the use of sugar in jam and the aroma of pineapple fruit can mask the distinctive aroma of dragon fruit which is less desirable. The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate concentration variations in the manufacture of dragon fruit peel jam with the addition of pineapple, which consumers liked. This study used a completely randomized design with six (6) treatments and two (2) replications. Dragon fruit peel jams analyzed by chemical tests included moisture content, sugar level, and pH, while organoleptic test included color, texture, taste, aroma, and a total of 30 untrained panelists. Observation data were processed using ANOVA (α = 5%) and further tested using the honest significant difference test (BNJ) (α = 5%). The results showed that the pineapple’s addition to dragon fruit peel jam had a very significant effect on the panelists' preference for aroma and taste, but not significantly different from the color, texture, and chemical characteristics of jam. The N6 treatment (dragon fruit peel 250 g: pineapple fruit 250 g) was the best jam, based on chemical characteristics (pH content of 3.52, moisture content of 18.65%, sugar level of 53.30%) and preferable in organoleptic characteristics (2.97 of color, 2.97 of texture, 2.97 of flavor, 3.00 of taste). Keywords: agricultural waste, dragon fruit peel, jam, pineapple

Kersen trees (Muntingia calabura L.) are included in the Elaeocarpaceae family and are mostly used as a protective tree. The kersen leaves were an environmental waste (trash) and still lacks implementation in food processing. This study was aimed to determine the chemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of kersen leaves at different altitudes and their potential as an herbal tea. The difference in the height of the place to grow will be used as a factor to be studied so that this study uses a completely randomized design with a one factor pattern (height the place of growings). Kersen leaves were taken from three districts, namely Jember (83 amsl/above mean sea level), Situbondo (5 amsl), and Bondowoso (255 amsl). The results showed that the chemical characteristics of kersen leaves consisting of moisture content, ash content, fat content, and carbohydrate content were not significantly different between regions, while protein content and antioxidant activity levels were significantly different between regions. Keywords: antioxidant activities, kersen leaves

The abundance of cassava, especially during the main harvest, triggers the accumulation of damaged cassava due to lack of processing and storage. An alternative solution to overcome this problem is by processing it into fried frozen cassava. The freezing process could extend product shelf life. In addition, it is necessary to have additional materials such as sodium bicarbonate to improve physical characteristics because it can form air cavities which make the product becomes more crispy outside and soft inside. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of variations in boiling time and sodium bicarbonate on the characteristic of fried frozen cassava. This study used 8 types of sample variation, 4 levels of factor A (boiling time: A0=0 min; A1=10 min; A2=20 min; A3=30 min) and 2 levels of factor B (sodium bicarbonate: B1=without soaking in sodium bicarbonate; B2=with soaking in sodium bicarbonate). Based on the results of the study, soaking in sodium bicarbonate and boiling time variations gave a significant effect on the texture of fried frozen cassava (value range 4-56 g/mm) but not on lightness (value range 64-71). The assessment from organoleptic characteristic (value range on color/lightness 2.63-3.48, aroma 2.51–3.40, flavor 1.75–3.92, texture 1.51–3.94, overall 1.81–3.81), showed that the fried frozen cassava with 30 minutes boiling time was preferred by consumers, especially those which soaked in sodium bicarbonate. Keywords: cassava, frozen, boiling time, sodium bicarbonate

The expired date is important information that consumers should know. However, many traditional foods have not written an expiration due date. The purpose of this study was to estimate the shelf life of two (2) types of traditional rice-based foods intip and kembang goyang. Estimation of shelf life was carried out using the Accelerated Shelf-life Testing (ASLT) method using the Arrhenius approach and the critical moisture content approach. The calculation of shelf life in the Arrhenius approach to kembang goyang has been obtained respectively 0.45 months, 0.50 months, and 0.47 months at respective temperatures (25oC, 35oC and 45oC). The results of shelf life kembang goyang through the water content approach obtained 0.43 months at 75% RH. The results of the arrhenius approach to intip showed that shelf life of 0.37 months, 0.45 months, and 0.53 months at each temperature (25oC, 35oC, and 45oC). The critical water content approach for intip has obtained a shelf life of 0.58 months (RH 75%). Intip has a slightly larger shelf life when analyzed using the critical moisture content method. Keywords: ASLT, intip, kembang goyang, shelf life
