ABSTRACT Dadih is a traditional fermented food made from buffalo milk. This fermentation process involves lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which have potential as probiotics due to their ability to balance the microflora in the digestive tract. As probiotics, LAB must be able to maintain their colonies against stomach acid, pepsin enzymes, and bile salts. This study aimed to identify LAB isolat…
ABSTRACT The sago plant is one of the starch-producing plants that grows widely in Indonesia and has the potential as a local food raw material, but it has limitations in its physicochemical properties such as retrogradation, unstable viscosity, and syneresis. Physical modification using the Heat Moisture Treatment (HMT) method is one way to improve these characteristics. The purpose of th…

This study aims to determine the effect of TKKS compost application rates and to obtain th…
ABSTRACT Pie is a snack consisting of pie filling and pie crust that has a sweet or salty taste, a golden yellow color, a brittle texture, but it’s not easy to crack. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the ratio of sago starch and mung bean flour on the chemical and sensory characteristics of pie crust, and to obtain the best formulation. The study was conducted exp…
ABSTRACT Sago (Metroxylon sp.) is a staple food crop and an important source of carbohydrates. Natural sago starch is obtained through extraction of the pith from the sago trunk; however, it has several limitations, including low stability, high retrogradation tendency, and limited functional properties, which restrict its wider applications. To address these drawbacks, physical modificati…
ABSTRACT The noni powder available on the market has a bitter taste and an unpleasant aroma, the addition of lemongrass is necessary to improve sensory characteristics. The purpose of this research was to obtain the optimum formulation for the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of noni juice and lemongrass juice powdered drinks in accordance with SNI 01-4320-1996. The treatments c…
ABSTRACT The development of food products has led to an increasing demand for healthier alternatives to traditional ingredients. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of jelly candy made from a combination of watermelon rind and red guava in varying ratios. The experimental method employed a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments, ratio watermelon albedo and …
ABSTRACT Crackers are a type of snack food made from various starch sources such as cassava starch, sweet potato starch, rice starch, taro starch, and sago starch. The ratio of amylose to amylopectin in these starches can affect the quality of the resulting crackers. The use of pregelatinized starch can provide a final product with a crispier and more stable texture while also reducing its…
ABSTRACT Dry noodles were widely consumed food products in Indonesia and were generally made from wheat flour, most of which was imported. To reduce reliance on imports and support local food diversification, part of the wheat flour was substituted with modified sago starch. Sago starch, as a potential local carbohydrate source to support food security, was physically modified using the au…
ABSTRACT Durian seeds, an underutilized by-product of durian fruit, could be processed into flour and modified to improve their physical properties. This study aimed to evaluate the physical characteristics of durian seed flour modified through one-cycle autoclaving-cooling process and to determine the most effective treatment duration. The treatments included P1 (natural durian seed flour…
ABSTRACT Taro was one type of tuber that could be used as flour. The use of natural taro flour as a food product was still limited because it had deficiencies in its physicochemical properties. The method used to improve the physicochemical properties of natural taro flour was physical modification using the heat moisture treatment (HMT). The purpose of this study was to determine the phys…
ABSTRACT Herbal tea is a beverage made from the processing of flowers, bark, seeds, leaves, fruits, and roots of various plants that have benefits for the body. This study aims to determine the drying time of selected pedada fruit herbal tea on the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of the herbal tea. The study was conducted experimentally using a completely randomised design…
ABSTRACT Sago starch has limited functional properties due to its low physicochemical characteristics and poor gelatinization at low temperatures, resulting in a longer cooking time. To improve its physicochemical properties, sago starch can be modified, one of which is through a dual modification method combining fermentation and heat-moisture treatment (HMT). This study aimed to obtain …
ABSTRACT Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in sufficient amounts. Probiotics help maintain gut health by producing metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), through the fermentation of undigested carbohydrates. One microorganism commonly used as a probiotic is Limosilactobacillus fermentum InaCC B1295. Limosilactobacillus fermentum I…
ABSTRACT Probiotics are microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts by contributing to the balance of intestinal microflora. Limosilactobacillus fermentum InaCC B1295, a local strain isolated from fermented buffalo milk (dadih), is known for its resilience in the gastrointestinal tract and its potential to support digestive function. This study aimed to e…
ABSTRACT Tea is known for is health benefits, hence the name herbal tea. One of the ingredients used in herbal tea is fragrant pandan leaves, which contain flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and polyphenols, which have antibacterial properties. This study aims to obtain selected treatments of fragrant pandan leaf herbal tea with stevia leaf ratio based on chemical and sensory qualit…
ABSTRACT Cookies are a type of biscuit made from soft dough with a high fat content, have a relatively crispy texture and are less dense because they have small pores that form during the baking process. Heat moisture treatment (HMT) can modify sinaboi taro flour in making cookies depending on processing conditions like moisture content. This study aimed to determine the effect of variatio…
