Development of Ginger Powder Beverage with Milo Flavor for Bintang Toedjoe
Red ginger is one of ginger plant variations that has strong ginger taste and odor with several health
benefits from its consumption. Redgine is the brand of PT Bintang Toedjoe red ginger extract powder that
has been one of the signature products from the company. The goal of this project is to formulate red
ginger drink variation in powder format with the previously discovered liquid formula is used as the
benchmark. The formulation takes place in PT Bintang Toedjoe Pulomas where the products acceptance
will be measured by conducting hedonic sensory evaluation with panelists from PT Bintang Toedjoe
employees who like ginger and milk. The data will then be analyzed using one way ANOVA continued with
Tukey’s HSD post hoc test or Kruskal-Wallis H Test. The materials used for the new formulation are all in
powder format while the equipment include analytical balance, beaker, and graduated cylinder. The
sensory evaluation was conducted several times where the first result shows that both samples served in
powder format have higher hedonic score than the control and one of the formulas is significantly
different with the control. The formula was then kept being improved to achieve cheaper selling price by
increasing dilution factor. After the price adjustment, xanthan gum was added to improve the texture of
the samples and the result shows that the optimum xanthan gum concentration is 0.2%. The final sensory
evaluation shows that one of the powder formulas is liked by the panelists and is more acceptable than
the control.
