New Flavored Milk Innovation : Developing Date Milk Flavor Variants
Innovation is one of the necessary conditions for a company's development and long-term success.
PT. Symrise Indonesia produces innovative solutions for fragrance, flavor, natural nutrition, and
cosmetic ingredients. Consumer tastes change as the taste universe expands. Date flavor has recently
become a top 10 flavor trend and thus could develop more. Since milk is the most often consumed
dairy product, flavored milk is one of the recommended ways for increasing milk intake. This study
will incorporate date into daily consumption, as date is typically consumed only during Ramadan. The
purpose of this study is to develop and find the best-flavored date milk that is acceptable according
to an internal panelist test. This study analyzed 5 prototypes of date milk with different combinations
of liquid flavors. 9-point hedonic and ranking tests were used to examine the preference of panelists,
google forms platforms also used to conduct the profiling, and the statistics used were the descriptive
statistics for evaluating the different liking score of each parameter (taste, aroma, and mouthfeel),
Friedman test for analyze the significant different between prototype and preference, and PCA for the
profiling. The platforms that used were google form, IBM SPSS Statistic 26, Microsoft Excel 2010, and
Xlstat 2019. The results show that each prototype had its characteristics and the most preferred
prototypes are combinations of date-caramel flavors. From the analysis, the p-value indicates that
prototypes differ significantly in taste, aroma, and mouthfeel, which affected preference. Differences
in prototype preference are affected by formulation and processing methods
