Background: The profiling of a drink made from bay leaves combined guava juice has not been previously reported despite the positive health aspects of both plants. Objectives: To analyze the sensory characteristics of jelly drink bay leaf water extract with guava juice combination using the Quantitative Analysis Descriptive (QDA) sensory evaluation method. Methods: The QDA carried out of three stages, namely the panelist preparation stage, Forum Group Discussion (FGD), and quantitative descriptive test. QDA was carried out on four jelly drink product formulas, namely F0 (standard), F1 (75:25), F2 (50:50), F3 (25:75) from the ratio of bay leaf extract:guava juice. Results: Sensory attributes consist of 17 attributes, namely appearance (particle aggregation size, viscosity, homogeneity), aroma (bay leaf, guava, sweet), texture (gritty, ease of spreading), taste (guava, sweet, sour, bay leaf), mouthfeel (gritty, jelly-like consistency, viscosity), aftertaste (astringent and bitter). The results of the one-way ANOVA analysis showed significant differences between the formula and the control product (p<0.05). Formula 1 and 3 not accepted by consumers because there are weaknesses, such as the inhomogeneous appearance and the strong aroma of bay leaf obtained the highest value in formula 1. In contrast, formula 3 has the highest value in astringent and bitter aftertaste, gritty texture and mouthfeel. Conclusions: The selected treatment is formula two of jelly drink with a ratio of bay leaf water extract: guava juice = 50:50. A description like this will assist food technology in developing new products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Processing lamb meat into fermented sausages can reduce the risk of spoilage and extend shelf life. Fermented sausages are commonly made using lactic acid bacteria (LAB), resulting in a product that is acidic and less firm. Therefore, it is necessary to add jack bean flour as a binding agent. This study aims to analyze physicochemical, microbiological and organoleptic characteristics of premium IPB lamb fermented sausages with varying proportions of jack bean flour (0% and 30%). The analyses included pH, water activity (aw), total acid, water, ash, fat, crude protein, carbohydrate, total LAB, E. coli, S. aureus, texture profile analysis (TPA), and sensory evaluation. The incorporation of jack bean flour into lamb meat fermented sausages can elevate the pH, springiness, chewiness, crude protein, and carbohydrate content of the fermented sausages. Furthermore, the addition of jack bean flour may reduce the total acid, aw, gumminess, water content, and bacteria (E. coli and S. aureus). The sensory aspects such as color in fermented sausage with addition of jack bean flour were preferred by the panelists. The addition of jack bean flour increased the total unsaturated fatty acids and essential amino acids in fermented sausages. The incorporation of jack bean flour aligns with the Indonesian National Standards for Meat Sausages 3820–2015 concerning moisture, fat, and protein content. This study suggests that incorporating lamb fermented sausage with 30% jack bean flour could result in significant benefits, including increased nutrition, enhanced sensory quality, improved texture, and extended storage life for fresh lamb products.

ABSTRACTThe experiment aimed to evaluate the combined effects of supplementing Japanese quail diets with Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) and pomegranate peel powder (PPP) on growth, carcass quality and ileum histology. Four groups were formed: a control group, MOLM (0.2%), PPP (7.5%) and a combination of both (0.2% MOLM + 7.5% PPP). The control group exhibited the highest weight gain, followed by the MOLM group, with no significant differences in feed intake or conversion ratio. Carcass analysis showed significant differences in liver, heart and gizzard weights, with the mixed diet group having the highest values. However, wings and dressed weight percentages were unaffected by the treatments. Sensory evaluation revealed improved organoleptic properties in the mixed diet group. Histological examination demonstrated enhanced ileum morphology in the mixed diet group, with significant improvements in villi length and villus/crypt depth ratio. Overall, supplementation with 0.2% MOLM and 7.5% PPP positively impacted carcass quality, sensory attributes and bird health. These findings suggest the potential benefits of combining MOLM and PPP in quail diets to enhance growth and overall health, highlighting the importance of further research in poultry nutrition.

ABSTRACT The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of varying concentrations of dextrin in fruit leather on attributes such as crude fiber content, total phenols, and organoleptic. The study was carried out utilizing a fully randomized design, implementing four interventions that included adding dextrin at various concentrations: (P0 ) 0%, (P1 ) 1%, (P2 ) 2%, and (P3 ) 3%, each replicated five times. The test results showed aw value of 0.40 - 0.42; crude fiber 6.31 - 7.76 g/100 g; total phenols 2.61 - 3.22%, color score 1.92 - 2.68; aroma 2 - 2.8; taste 2.24 - 2.6; and texture (plastic) 2.12 - 2.68. The test results for total phenols tend to show an increase. Increasing the concentration of added dextrin reduces the crude fiber, aroma, and taste but increases the color and texture (plasticity) of fruit leather. Keywords: Crude fiber, Dextrin,Organoleptic,Phenol

Bad eating habits with high fat content but low fiber have been linked to the rise of degenerative diseases, and this is a main driven factor of developing high fiber and antioxidant foods. Green bean flour contains high protein and phenolic compounds such as flavonoids while red dragon fruit peel flour contains high antioxidants and fiber. The aim of this study was to investigate physico-chemical and sensory properties of cookies substituted with green bean and red dragon fruit peel flour. The flour formulations consisted of wheat flour (TT), red dragon fruit peel flour (TN), and green bean flour (TK) as follows: K1 (37.5% TT:62.5% TN), K2­ (37.5% TT:62.5% TK), F1 (38% TT:47% TN:15% TK), F2­ (38% TT:31% TN:31% TK), and F3­ (38% TT:15% TN:47% TK) as well as control K0 (100% TT). Cookies quality was observed, including physical properties, chemical properties, and sensory properties. The results of this study showed that substitution of green bean and red dragon fruit peel flour in the cookies had significant effects on physico-chemical properties and sensory tests. Treatment F3 was the best formulation based on physical, chemical, and sensory properties with hardness (8.75 N), L* (42.28), a* (17.31), b* (22.05), volume development (29.41%), moisture content (5.68%), ash (3.56%), fat (24.47%), protein (9.47%), carbohydrate (57.38%), crude fiber (13.12%), antioxidant capacity of (49.32%), and IC50 (97.92 ppm). The results of the sensory test for F3 sample had scores for color (1.13), aroma (2.43), taste (4.27), texture (3.23), and overall liking (4.30).

Recently, there has appeared a tendency to use non-traditional animal raw materials to expand the range of sausages. The purpose of the research is to determine the organoleptic and physico-chemical properties, as well as quality indicators of new sausages with a mass fraction of deer muscle tissue in the recipe (> 60%). An organoleptic evaluation was carried out, then the study of physicochemical parameters, the mass fraction of protein, fat, salt, sodium nitrite, total phosphorus, and residual activity of acid phosphatase was performed. Next there were studied such microbiological indicators as QMAFAnM, BGKP (coliforms), sulfite-reducing clostridia, Staphylococcus aureus, and pathogenic microorganisms: Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes. Safety indicators have been established: the content of toxic elements (mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead) and quality indicators: the content of nitrosamines, pesticides. The quality control of packaging and labeling was carried out visually in accordance with the requirements of the standard. The temperature is measured inside the product with a glass liquid thermometer. The net weight of consumer packaging was determined gravimetrically by static weighing. It has been proved that all three types of the studied sausages «Zavtrak okhotnika», «Drezdenskiye» and «Oldenburgskiye» corresponded to the normative documentation in terms of organoleptic, physico-chemical properties, quality and safety indicators, nutritional value.

Some olive cultivars grown in southeastern Italy are characterized by the production of olives with a reduced level of bitterness. They are known as sweet olive cultivars and fruits are usually consumed directly or cooked without any debittering process, offering either health benefits to consumers, thanks to the high content of antioxidants, or an economic benefit to farmers for their higher price with respect to both table and oil olives. This study evaluates and compares the organoleptic, pomological, chemical, and physical parameters of seven sweet olive cultivars at different ripening degrees in the Puglia region over 8 weeks of maturity stage for two consecutive seasons (2022 and 2023). The organoleptic evaluation was performed by a restricted panel of usual consumers/experts of sweet olives. The results showed a higher preference for the olive cultivars locally named Triggiano Dolce, Cerasella, and Mele. Significant differences in weight, length, and width of the fruits were observed based on both cultivar and year. The phenolic composition of olive cultivars was significantly affected by both cultivar and harvest year, with Cazzinicchio and Cellina di Nardò having the highest total polyphenols. The analysis of water fraction extracted from olive samples by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry led to the identification of eleven compounds belonging to the secoiroids, phenylpropanoids, phenylethanolids, and flavonoids classes. The comparison of these compounds among the studied cultivars highlighted significant differences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chicken and duck eggs are highly nutritious food products that are popular among the Indonesian community. However, their perishable nature leads to a decline in quality if not further processed. The salting process is a simple preservation method that can also enhance the flavor of salted egg products. To produce salted egg products with high organoleptic quality preference, a combination of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) is implemented as a quality decision-making method based on: (1) the experts viewpoints on the importance level of organoleptic criteria, and (2) the scores of organoleptic tests for the criteria of texture, taste, and appearance. In this study, chicken and duck eggs were processed into salted eggs using a salting mixture made of a blend of scouring ash and table salt with a mass ratio of 5:4 and 5:6, resulting in product combinations coded as CE-5/4, CE-5/6, DE-5/4, and DE-5/6. Data processing results on the importance level from the experts viewpoints using the AHP method resulted that the criteria for texture, taste, and aroma had final priority weights of 0.244, 0.617, and 0.139, respectively. Final decision-making using the SAW method indicated that the highest to lowest final preference scores were obtained by products CE-5/4, DE-5/4, DE-5/6, and CE-5/6, with the final preference scores of 0.979, 0.963, 0.931, and 0.906, respectively. The results demonstrated that AHP and SAW were successfully implemented to assist in making decisions regarding the quality of salted egg products based on their organoleptic characteristics.

This research aims to assess the impact of adding Elkhorn Sea Moss Flour as a fiber source on the organoleptic characteristics and nutritional value of pasta. The treatments used are C0 = 0% addition of Elkhorn Sea Moss Flour; C1 = 30% ; C2 = 50%; C3 = 70%. The study utilized a completely randomized design (CRD) with one factor, comprising four concentration treatments replicated three times. The results showed that the addition of Elkhorn Sea Moss Flour to pasta resulted in significant increases in protein content, fiber, and antioxidant activity. Pasta with 70% Elkhorn Sea Moss Flour addition showed the highest fiber content and moderately high antioxidant activity, making it a potential functional food product. However, as Elkhorn Sea Moss Flour increased, there was a decrease in organoleptic parameters such as aroma, texture, and taste. Elkhorn Sea Moss Flour has great potential as an additive in functional food products, enriching fiber and antioxidant content, but its use should be carefully considered to ensure good consumer acceptance.

Enrichment of layer chicken environment with physical, sensory, or stimulatory additions reported to have numerous beneficial effects. Hanging readily available tropical leguminous leafy materials such as Moringa and Sesbania in layer chicken pens can provide an additional amount of nutrients while serving as an environmental enrichment means. This study investigated the effects of hanging Moringa and Sesbania leaves as edible cage enrichments on performance, physical and organoleptic properties of egg and litter characteristics. Giving a completely randomized design experiment, 75 weeks old RIR layers (n=80) were allocated into 16 pens. Treatments were hanging two bundles of Moringa oleifera (MOL) leaves (T1), one bundle of MOL and one bundle of Sesbania grandiflora (SGL) leaves (T2), two bundles of SGL (T3) and no leaves hanging (T4). Egg production, and feed and leafy material intake were recorded for 42 days. Eggs were analyzed for physical properties. A semi-trained panel (n=25) conducted a sensory evaluation for eggs. The frequency of visiting feeders, drinkers, and leaves bundles was recorded using scan sampling techniques. Results showed that birds more preferred to eat SGL than MOL. Hanging of MOL or SGL alone or as two separate bundles increased body weight, egg weight, percentage of egg albumen, egg length, and eggshell thickness significantly. Colour, flavor, and overall acceptability of yolk color and flavor and aroma of egg white were positively influenced (P<0.05) by the hanging of leafy materials. Birds in pens with MOL and SGL exhibited more exploratory behaviors toward leaf bundles. Hanging of leafy materials increased the litter nitrogen content (P<0.05) as well. The study concludes that hanging MOL or MOL MOL leaves in layer chicken pens has positive impacts on physical and organoleptic properties and welfare while increasing litter nitrogen content.

Fruit salad is a healthy food because it is rich in fiber and vitamins. To give flavor to fruit salad, salad dressing can be added. One of the ingredients that can be added as a salad dressing is soygurt. However, in making soygurt, skim milk used to increase total solids is not fat so it needs to be re-evaluated using organoleptic test, pH value and total solids to be used as fruit salad dressing. This research aims to fill the knowledge gap by systematically investigating the effect of soygurt addition on organoleptic quality, pH value, and total soluble solids in fruit salad dressing. The method used in this research is an experiment conducted with three formulations, namely, 25%, 50%, and 75%. The way to determine the quality of soygurt addition to fruit salad dressing is organoleptic test, pH value, and total soluble solids. The results showed that the addition of soygurt by 50% in fruit salad dressing products produced the best quality in the aspects of color, aroma, viscosity, sweetness, sourness, and soybean languish. The total soluble solids test showed a significant difference with the 75% percentage having the highest value, which was 15.33 brix°. Organoleptic assessment of the quality of color, aroma, viscosity, sweetness, sourness, and soybean tartness showed that there was no significant difference between the addition of 25%, 50%, and 75% soygurt.

Industrial animal agriculture is a significant driver of climate change, habitat loss, and the ongoing extinction crisis, all of which will continue to accelerate as global demand for animal products grows. Plant-based alternatives to animal products, which have existed for over a thousand years, offer a potential solution to this problem, as the intersection of recent technological innovation and shifting capital investment trends have ushered in a new era of alternative proteins that are redefining food categories like meat, eggs, and milk. To better understand these evolving food forms, their attendant technologies, and the opportunities they afford for ameliorating the impacts of industrial animal farming, this article provides a genealogy of plant-based alternative proteins, with a particular focus on the current era and the role that design principles like biomimicry and skeuomorphism play in reproducing the organoleptic properties (the sensorial, experiential aspects) of animal products. Comparing the alternative protein market to other markets in which more sustainable foods and energy have failed to displace their environmentally destructive counterparts, it concludes by considering if whether creating novel new protein forms, rather than imitating conventional animal products, may afford a more promising path toward transformation of the food system.

Background: Purple sweet potato productivity in Indonesia is notably high, particularly in Bondowoso at 213.84 quintals/ha. This variant of sweet potato is rich in betacarotene, with a content of 4237 µg/100 g, known for its ability to protect cells from free radicals and reduce the risk of diabetes mellitus. Notably, Indonesia ranks third globally in the prevalence of prediabetes, affecting 27.7 million people. In 2022, in Tapen District, Bondowoso, the prevalence of prediabetes, based on Tapen Health Center data, was recorded at 12.36%. Objectives: Analyzing betacarotene, total sugar, and organoleptic propeties of purple sweet potato jam as a prediabetes distraction food. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a post-test-only control group was employed. The research involved producing purple sweet potato jam with varying ratios of cassava sugar and purple sweet potato (X0: 0% cassava sugar; 100% purple sweet potato; X1: 15% cassava sugar; 85% purple sweet potato; X2: 30% cassava sugar; 70% purple sweet potato; X3: 45% cassava sugar; 55% purple sweet potato). Analysis included determining betacarotene content using the UV-Visible Spectrophotometry method, total sugar using the Luff Schoorl method, and organoleptic evaluation through the hedonic test method. Data were subjected to statistical analysis using the One-Way ANOVA test for betacarotene and total sugar levels, followed by Duncan's post-hoc test. Organoleptic test data were analyzed using the Kruskall Wallis test and Dunn's post-hoc test. Results: The average betacarotene content in treatments X0, X1, X2, and X3 were 4230.3 µg/100 g; 3464 µg/100 g; 2955.6 µg/100 g; and 2257.3 µg/100 g, respectively. Total sugar content averages for treatments X0, X1, X2, and X3 were 2.2%; 13.7%; 27.5%; and 39.2%, respectively. The panelists’ preference indicated that sample X3 (45% cassava sugar and 55% purple sweet potato) was the most favored jam. Conclusions: Significant differences were observed in beta-carotene, total sugar, and organoleptic levels of purple sweet potato jam, suggesting that the variation in purple sweet potato and cassava sugar ratios influenced the beta-carotene and total sugar levels in the jam.

Yogurt is a fermented milk product made with the help of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). Goat milk yogurt with the addition of red rice bran flour contains high antioxidants, making it very beneficial for health. This study aims to evaluate the effect of storage duration on the organoleptic physical characteristics, pH value, and contamination by Coliform and Salmonella spp. in goat milk yogurt with the addition of red rice bran flour. The study used 20 samples divided into five treatment groups based on storage duration (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks) at 4 ℃, with four repetitions. Each week, organoleptic physical characteristics were tested hedonically and hedonic quality assessed by 20 semi-trained panellists, pH measured with a digital pH meter, Coliform contamination tested using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method, and Salmonella spp. contamination tested using SSA media followed by TSIA media. Data analysis for organoleptic physical characteristics was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Mann Whitney test. Data analysis for pH and Coliform contamination was conducted using one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey test. Data analysis for Salmonella spp. contamination was done descriptively. The results showed that the storage duration significantly affected the physical characteristics of appearance, taste, and aroma (p<0.05) but did not significantly affect colour (p>0.05). There were very significant differences in pH values and Coliform contamination (p<0.01), whereas Salmonella spp. contamination was not affected by the storage duration. The conclusion of this study is that goat milk yogurt with the addition of red rice bran flour should be consumed within three weeks based on organoleptic physical characteristics, pH value, and levels of Coliform and Salmonella spp. contamination.

Se'i meat is a typical meat from East Nusa Tenggara which is made by smoking it. The meat is sliced in small lengths, then smoked until cooked and has a distinctive taste. This study aims to determine the effect of rosella flour (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) to organoleptic (colour, aroma, taste and tenderness); pH; TPC and E. coli pork. The research method uses a Complete Randomized Design (RAL) consisting of 4 treatments and 4 repetitions. The treatment consisted of P0: pork se’i meat without the addition of rosella flour, P1: pork se’i meat with the addition of rosella flour 0.5%, P2: pork se’i meat with the addition of rosella flour 1%, P3: pork se’i meat with the addition of rosella flour 1.5%. The organoleptic test of colour, aroma, taste and tenderness of pork meat was analysed using the Kruskal Wallis test followed by the Mann Whitney test, while the pH, TPC and E. Coli. analysed using ANOVA followed by Duncan's test to see any differences between treatments. The results showed that the application of roselle flour to pork se'i meat with different concentrations (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%) affected the organoleptic quality (colour, taste and tenderness) but did not affect the aroma of pork se'i meat. The addition of roselle flour can also lower the pH, TPC and E. coli pork. It is concluded that the higher the amount of rosella flour shows good results for the quality of pig meat because it increases the taste and tenderness and lowers the pH, TPC and E.coli of pork se’i.

In leather manufacturing, ammonium-free deliming is gaining popularity because deliming with traditionally used ammonium salts contributes ammonia-nitrogen (NH3–N) into wastewater. Wastewater contains NH3–N effect on the treatment facility. In this study, an ammonia-free deliming agent-a combination of citric acid (CA), sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is utilized against the traditional deliming agent to limit the release of NH3–N. Physicomechanical properties have been assessed in the produced effluent, delimed pelt, and crust leather. In contrast to traditional deliming, the amount of NH3–N and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) is estimated to have decreased by 98.1 % and 85.26 %, respectively. Deliming with CA + SHMP + EDTA can significantly reduce the amount of TKN in the deliming float. A notable reduction of biochemical oxygen demand (34.8 %), chemical oxygen demand (85.7 %), total dissolved solids (56.4 %), electrical conductivity (54.5 %), and turbidity (65.2 %) was achieved. The physical and organoleptic characteristics of crust leathers produced with the CA + SHMP + EDTA deliming process are comparable to the traditional deliming technique. Similar fiber structure is observed in SEM images of crust leather, wet blue leather, limed pelt, and delimed pelt. A pilot-scale production is carried out; the outcomes are similar to the experimental results. For all experimental and control investigations, the Pseudo Second Order kinetic model fits the reaction kinetics. Deliming with CA + SHMP + EDTA offers a simpler wastewater treatment process since it reduces nitrogen contamination in the wastewater.

Snakehead fish is a very rich source of albumin, an important type of protein that the human body needs every day. The source of snakehead fish albumin is very good for sufferers of hypoalbumin (low albumin) and healing post-operative wounds or burns. In rural areas, post-circumcision boys are always advised to consume this type of fish to heal faster, women after giving birth, and post-operative patients are advised to consume it to speed up wound healing. The organoleptic characteristics of snakehead fish albumin consist of color, aroma, taste and texture of snakehead fish albumin. The average organoleptic value of snakehead fish albumin color without treatment was 5.08 (neutral), with the treatment of adding basil leaves during albumin extraction it was 5.24 (neutral), the organoleptic value of albumin with the addition of bay leaves during albumin extraction was 5 .2 (neutral) and the organoleptic value of albumin with the addition of basil leaves and bay leaves during albumin extraction is 6.8 (close to like). The average organoleptic value of snakehead fish albumin aroma without treatment was 4.68 (close to neutral), with the treatment of adding basil leaves during albumin extraction it was 6.44 (somewhat good), the organoleptic value of albumin aroma with the addition of bay leaves during albumin extraction of 5.2 (neutral) and the organoleptic value of albumin with the addition of basil leaves and bay leaves during albumin extraction was 4.15 (somewhat unfavorable). The more leaves you add, both basil leaves and bay leaves, the more the albumin aroma you get will increase.

Nano bacterial cellulose (NBC) being a biopolymer has unique physical and chemical properties with high biocompatibility. It is pure cellulose with nanometer size, produced by certain group of bacteria. Its properties can be further improved by combining with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which is a fascinating polymer soluble in water and biocompatible. Composite films of PVA and NBC were prepared by solution casting method. Composite films of PVA-NBC (0,1,2,3,4,5 %) were tested for major packaging properties like water vapor transmission rate, swelling measurement, film solubility and moisture retention capacity. Among all concentration films, film with 5 % NBC- PVA showed better results for all the tests. Films were also checked for antimicrobial properties against spoilage-causing bacteria and fungi. Further, the films were applied to study the shelf life in the Mitli Banana (Musa sp.) followed by Organoleptic evaluation during storage. Results showed that the banana packed with 5 % NBC- PVA film has retained maximum acceptable characters than other packages.

The fish are incorporated with ice to preserve their freshness when sold on the market. Ordinary people can only detect its freshness with some basic freshness knowledge. Therefore, non-destructive fish freshness inspection is an innovative solution to help. This dataset provides a medium to develop a system for non-destructive detection of fish freshness. There are three data variations: sensor data, images, and organoleptic examination. This dataset includes three fish species: mackerel, tilapia, and tuna, using 21 fish of each species. Data generation was carried out for 11 days, where 800 MQ (Metal Oxide) 135 and TGS (Taguchi Gas Sensor) 2602 sensor data and 80 images were generated every day. Organoleptic examinations were carried out using the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 2729-2013 on six parameters: eyes, gills, body surface mucus, meat, smell, and body textures. This dataset can be used to develop a fish freshness detection system, regression modeling to estimate the deterioration in fish freshness, and standard grouping of freshness classes.

Background: Fecal microbiota transplants can be administered orally in encapsulated form or require invasive procedures to administer liquid formulations. There is a need for an oral liquid formulation of fecal microbiota for patients who are unable to swallow capsules, especially if they require multiple, repeated administrations. Aims: These studies were conducted to develop a protocol to manufacture an organoleptically acceptable powdered fecal microbiota formulation that can be suspended in a liquid carrier and used for fecal microbiota transplantation. Methods: Several processing steps were investigated, including extra washes of microbiota prior to lyophilization and an addition of a flavoring agent. The viability of bacteria in the transplant formulation was tested using live/dead microscopy staining and engraftment into antibiotic-treated mice. After development of a clinical protocol for suspension of the powdered microbiota, the new formulation was tested in three elderly patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections and who have difficulties in swallowing capsules. Changes in the microbial community structure in one of the patients were characterized using 16S rRNA gene profiling and engraftment analysis. Results: The processing steps used to produce an organoleptically acceptable suspension of powdered fecal microbiota did not result in loss of its viability. The powder could be easily suspended in a liquid carrier. The use of the new formulation was associated with abrogation of the cycle of C. difficile infection recurrences in the three patients. Conclusion: We developed a novel organoleptically acceptable liquid formulation of fecal microbiota that is suitable for use in clinical trials for patients with difficulties in swallowing capsules.

Coffee is usually consumed by adding sugar, cream, or milk. Adding these ingredients, especially sugar, can cause new disease problems. The market is starting to look for natural sweeteners that do not cause health problems, such as stevia. The objective of this research was to identify the sensory attributes and chemical components of some variety of stevia coffee formulations. Sensory attributes were identified through a focus group discussion (FGD), and sensory profiling to choose the best formulation was determined using the Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA). The FGD members were nine panelists, while the RATA sensory evaluation used 30 panelists. Chemical analysis carried out includes water (gravimetry), ash (gravimetry), and antioxidant capacity (spectrophotometry). In this research, four distinct formulations of stevia coffee, A1 (0% stevia), A2 (2% stevia), A3 (4% stevia), and A4 (7% stevia), were utilized. Results indicate that varying stevia concentrations significantly influence the resulting coffee's sensory characteristics. Attributes identified through FGD include color (dark brown), aroma (green/leafy, sour, roasted, spicy), taste (acid/sour, sweet, bitter, green, spice) and aftertaste (over, bitter and sweet). Statistical analysis showed that eight out of thirteen sensory attributes had significant differences (p<0.05) among the four samples. Sensory evaluation of the selected sample, A2 (4%), revealed a favorable taste profile characterized by sweetness and sourness. Moreover, the chosen formulation exhibited a notable antioxidant activity level of 83.13%. These findings underscore the potential of stevia coffee as a flavorful and health-conscious alternative, offering valuable insights for product development and consumer acceptance.

The consumption of tropical fruits has been increasing throughout the world, especially in non-producing countries. Among the fruits in this category, bananas (Musa spp.) have consistently demonstrated a growing trend in both purchases and consumption throughout the world, and also in Italy. The following question therefore arises: is there a correspondence between the quality characteristics of bananas on the market and the consumers' preferences? The objectives of this study were twofold: 1) to qualitatively and sensorially characterize bananas at three different stages of commercial ripening (Banana quality assessment); and 2) to explore the consumption habits, perceptions, and preferences of Italian consumers regarding tropical fruits, focusing in particular on fruit quality, health, and sustainability (Consumers' perception of tropical fruits). The results indicated that ripe bananas were preferred by the sensory panel and maintained high-quality attributes even after five days of storage at room temperature. Moreover, the importance of the sustainability of tropical fruits and a preference for ripeness of bananas during the decision-making stage were found to be influenced by individual factors. Different levels of awareness and purchasing styles were identified. However, the connection between the findings of the sensory analysis and the declared preferences revealed several insights that can be used to improve managing the supply and assortment of bananas for distribution to satisfy the consumers’ preferences, improve communication strategies, encourage waste reduction, and enhance supply chain sustainability.

Potato processing in food industry leaves the main waste in the form of potato peels. Based on its nutritional value, potato peels has the potential to be used as a food ingredient. 100 g of potato peels contains 115 calories, 19.8 mg of calcium, 7.8 g of vitamin C, 5 g of fiber, and 4.1 mg of iron. Research on mice given potato peelings showed an increase in hemoglobin levels due to the iron content in potato peels. Reduced intake and increased use of iron in the process of preparing red blood cells in the human body are factors that cause anemia that has a significant impact on health. In this study, the use of potato peels (Solanum tuberosum L.) were carried out as a substitute of tapioca for making chicken meatballs and found out its effect on chemical quality, iron (Fe) content, and organoleptic quality. The difference in treatment carried out was the proportion of potato peels substitution; P1 (potato peels substitution 0%), P2 (35%), P3 (70%), and P4 (100%). On chemical quality, P1 (substitution of 0% potato peelings), P2 (35%), P3 (70%), and P4 (100%) in alpha 5% had a significant effect on the content of water (α=0.000), ash (α=0.001), fat (α=0.000), crude fiber (α=0.000), carbohydrates (α=0.000), and energy (α=0.000), except protein (α=0.097) of chicken meatballs. The four treatments had a noticeable difference in the iron content of chicken meatballs. The more proportion of potato peels substitution (Solanum tuberosum L.), the higher the iron content (Fe) of chicken meatballs. Organoleptically, the addition of potato peels did not have a noticeable different effect on the tests of color (α=0.956), appearance (α=0.506), and smell preferences (α=0.134). Meanwhile, the preference test on the parameters of texture (α=0.019), taste (α=0.010), and overall (α=0.002) shows that there was a noticeable difference.

One of the beef processing is sausage, which is well known in the community. At this time, the need for fast food (ready-to-cook) is increasing. The main ingredient used to produce sausages for stuffing is tapioca flour. The increasing price of tapioca flour is due to the high demand for its use in processed foods, so it is necessary to find alternative fillers that are more affordable. Kepok banana flour (Musa paradisiaca formatypica) has a starch content that is relatively similar to tapioca, so it can be used as an alternative raw material. This study aimed to determine the chemical and organoleptic quality of beef sausage made with Kepok banana flour. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments, namely X0 = (control) 0% Kepok banana flour + 20% tapioca; X1 = 5% Kepok banana flour + 15% tapioca; X2 = 10% Kepok banana flour + 10% tapioca; X3 = 15% Kepok banana flour + 5% tapioca; X4 = 20% Kepok banana flour + 0% tapioca, with each treatment consisting of 4 replicates. The variables observed were protein content, moisture content, crude fibre, fat content, ash content and organoleptic of beef sausage. The results showed that the addition of Kepok banana flour in beef sausage processing had a significant effect (P0.05) on ash content and texture of beef sausage. It is concluded that beef sausage made with kepok banana flour as a substitute for tapioca flour produces sausage with better chemical and organoleptic properties than beef sausage made with tapioca flour only. Kepok banana flour can be used as a filler in the production of beef sausage.

Syrup is a thick sugar solution with or without the addition of permitted food additives. Syrup usually uses high calorie cane sugar which can trigger obesity if it is not balanced by physical activity. This study aimed to determine the effect of low-calorie sugar application on chemical characteristics (including pH, vitamin C, reducing sugars, betacyanin), and physical characteristics (total dissolved solids) and organoleptic (including aroma, taste, color) in red dragon fruit syrup. The experiment was designed following randomized block design (RBD) with one-factor treatment, namely the concentration of sugar consisted of 5 treatments (K1: 3%, K2: 6%, K3: 9%, K4: 12%, K5: 15 %). Each treatment was repeated 5 (five) times to obtain 25 experimental units. The results showed that the application of low-calorie sugar significantly affected the syrup's chemical characteristics, namely reducing sugar. They had a significant effect on the physical characteristics of the syrup, namely the total dissolved solids. However, it did not significantly affect pH, vitamin C, and betacyanin levels. From the organoleptic test, the panelists liked red dragon fruit syrup the most, with a concentration of 15% for each organoleptic parameter, including aroma, taste, and color.

Phytochemical screening to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the chemical content of black tea (Camellia sinensis), Turmeric (Curcuma longa), and Ginger (Zingiber officinale). In addition, the content of secondary metabolites in black tea, turmeric and ginger can be used as an indication of the quality of these plants. The need for a combination of black tea extract, turmeric, and ginger from various sources so that it can be liked by the public. This study aims to test the phytochemical extracts of black tea, turmeric, and ginger, as well as conduct organoleptic tests on the most optimal combination for α-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activity. Phytochemical screening showed that black tea and ginger extract contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, quinones, glycosides, and phenolics, while turmeric extract contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, quinones, glycosides, and phenolics. The organoleptic test of the F7 combination, which includes black tea extract, turmeric, and ginger, showed the highest level of preference by P3 and P2 in terms of color, aroma, consistency, and aftertaste, while taste was most preferred by P3.

The influence of feeding Atlantic salmon for 90 days on diets that excluded fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) was examined for influence on various quality traits. In addition, the effect of adding krill meal (KM; 0%, 2.5%, and 5%), as a putative feed palatant was also examined. Total replacement of FM/FO had a limited effect on production characteristics, affecting percentage yields of headed and gutted control fish and their standard length (p < 0.05). Variances between dietary groups were observed for pigmentation, and plant protein-based KM-free-fed fish returned deeper hues across their belly, NQC (Norwegian Quality Cut), and back portions (p < 0.03). No differences were measured for relative fin condition. δ13C and δ15N concentrations were lower and higher, respectively (p < 0.05) for fish fed the FM/FO-based diet. δ13C:δ15N likewise differed between treatments with FM/FO-fed salmon expressing higher ratios. Fillet mechanical characteristics varied with fish fed on animal protein-based diets, without KM expressing higher springiness and resilience (p < 0.05). Fish fed plant-based diets were generally preferred by younger taste testers. The results from this trial illustrate that FM/FO can be completely removed from salmon diets without problematic effects on quality and palatability attributes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim of the study: To investigate the potential of 10% propolis-based toothpaste on inhibiting biofilm-forming bacteria growth in vitro. Material and method: Organoleptic properties are evaluated, considering color, odor, and taste. Antibacterial tests use a disc diffusion method against Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus and Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria, while cytotoxicity is assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay on fibroblast cells. Statistical analysis involves mean ± standard deviation. The data were then tested using a one-way analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis, followed by post-hoc test (p < 0.05). Results: The organoleptic evaluation of 10% propolis toothpaste reveals a visually clear appearance, consistent orange flavor, and aroma lasting 30 days. Based on the antibacterial results, a 10% level of propolis toothpaste sample inhibited the growth of Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus and Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria. The post-hoc test showed that toothpaste demonstrated significant inhibition on S. mutans and S. aureus compared to the negative control (p < 0.05). The toothpaste showed a larger inhibitory zone towards P. gingivalis compared to the adverse control; however, no significant differences were observed (p > 0.05). Cytotoxicity assessment on fibroblast cells shows a high percentage (85.31%) of viable cells. The findings highlight the 10% of propolis toothpaste's potential and non-toxic as oral care product. Conclusions: 10% propolis toothpaste inhibits S. mutans, S. aureus, P. gingivalis growth, and not toxic on fibroblast. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Obesity is a multifactorial disease that occurs due to excessive storage of fat tissues. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that obesity and overweight are risk factors for the fifth cause of death in the world. A nutritional status monitoring initiated by the Directorate of Community Nutrition of the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2018 showed that the percentage of the obese adult population aged >18 years was 28.5%, and the 2018 Basic Health Research found 21.8% of the population. Obesity can be prevented by consuming fruits and tubers that are high in fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants, and low glycemic index (GI) value. Objectives: This study aims to determine the acceptability and phytochemical test of antioxidant, fiber, glycemic index, and vitamin C of Mar'ke Bilar, a healthy drink. Methods: Experimental research was conducted using a complete randomized design (CRD) consisting of three treatments and two repetitions. Antioxidant, vitamin C, fiber, and GI levels were assessed afterward. Results: The organoleptic test results show the highest acceptability obtained in formulation 2 consisting of 30 ml passion fruit, 50 ml persimmon, 50 ml purple sweet potato, and 70 ml water. Formulation 2 contained 39.73 mg/ml antioxidant, 4.0 g fiber, 62% GI, and 56.81 mg vitamin C. This means that Mar'ke Bilar can be used as an alternative to obesity prevention. Conclusions: Formulation 2 is the selected formulation in which the drink is purplish pink, not too thick, watery, refreshingly sweet, and slightly sour with a total antioxidant content of 39.73 mg/ml, 4.0 g of fiber, GI of 62%, and vitamin C of 56.81 mg.

Sausages are processed meals with two changes based on the composition and the formulation. The trend of consuming sausage increases annually both at national and international levels. The most common ingredients of sausages are beef and chicken. On the other hand, fish and snails could also become the ingredients as found in Japanese practices. This research determined the influence of the fish type on the nutrition contents, such as the water, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrate; and the acceptability of fish sausage. The researchers carried out the research at the Food Laboratory of the Nutritional Department, the Integrated Laboratory of Polytechnic of Health Ministry of Jayapura, and the Mathematics and Science Laboratory of Universitas Cenderawasih. This complete random research design applied some factors to investigate, such as the formulation of the fish. The applied formulations were: F1 with 90% fish meat and 10% flour; F2 with 80% fish meat and 20% flour; and F3 with 70% fish meat and 30% flour. The researchers used some meats from Nile tilapia, snakehead, and flower horn cichlid fish. The researchers analyzed the nutrition content and found differences among the carbohydrate, water, and ash contents from all the fish. On the other hand, the protein and fat content of each fish were not significantly different. The organoleptic test found that the F3 category was the most preferable fish meat. The acceptability test found that 95.6% of respondents consumed all given samples. The researchers concluded that the fish sausage from snakehead fish, with a ratio of 70% fish meat and 30% flour, had the best organoleptic feature, excellent acceptability, and all the nutrition requirements suggested by Indonesia's National Standard of Fish Sausage.

Background: Skin is one of the abundance side products of the striped catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) fillet industry in tropical countries. The previous histological study revealed that the skin of striped catfish contains high collagens which has the potential to supply the increasing halal gelatin demands. However, the texture of striped catfish skin gelatin (SCSG) at room temperature is mushy. This can be enhanced by the transglutaminase (TG) modification. SCSG modified with TG (SCSG_TG) needs to be tested for safety and consumer acceptance before being marketed. The research aims to decide the level of acute toxicity of SCSG_TG in mice (Mus musculus) and discover the organoleptic quality of SCSG_TG. Methods: Striped catfish skin gelatin modified with transglutaminase (SCSG_TG) was acquire by CH3COOH (acid) and NaOH (base) extraction at a temperature of 58°C. Toxicity tests using mice were worked by the Limit Test Procedure of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. While organoleptic tests were worked using hedonic assessment and the Friedman test. Results: The result shows SCSG_TG did not induce any toxic effects or death in mice. SCSG_TG 10 mg film was the most favored treatment group by the panelists (4.9-6.5) compared with SCSG_TG 0 mg (3.8-6.0) and SCSG_TG 50 mg film (4.1-6.3). Conclusion: Hence, the striped catfish skin gelatin film modified with transglutaminase (SCSG_TG) was declared safe, non-toxic, and accepted according to the organoleptic assessment that has met the standard ("dislike" criteria <25%).

Conventional noni juice production was placing ripe noni fruits into a juice collection vessel for two months or longer. During this time, the noni juice separates (drips) gradually from the pulp. Recent studies have shown that acid catalysts have advantages over conventional noni juice production. This method uses a lactic acid catalyst for the fermentation of noni fruit. The focus of this research is to optimize the effects of various concentrates of Aceh noni X1 (10–20 ml), lactose from UHT (ultra-high temperature) milk, and Yakult as a source of Lactobacillus casei X2 (10–25 ml) and X3 (2.5–10 ml). The response variables used were lactic acid levels (Y1, %) and protein levels (Y2, %). The influence of the three individual variables X1, X2, and X3 on the response variables Y1 and Y2 is significant at the 95% confidence level (0.05), but the interaction effect is not significant. Optimal conditions are carried out at the maximum design limits X1, minimum X2, minimum X3, maximum Y1, and maximum Y2 according to the consideration of material prices, and optimal conditions are achieved at each X1 = 20 ml, X2 = 10 ml, X3 = 15.26 ml, Y1 = 1.23% and Y2 = 2.31%, and desirability of 0.92. The lactic acid compound was a fermentation medium for the noni juice-making media. Thus, lactic acid can be believed to be a potentially promising catalyst for producing noni juice while providing economic opportunities and adding value to the noni plant industry.
