Snack food is one of the fastest growing segments in the food industry, however, often lacks nutritional content. To improve the nutritional content of puffed snacks, especially in protein, this study aimed to evaluate the proximate composition and sensory acceptance of different concentrations (F0 = 0%, F1 = 5%, F2 = 10%, and F3 = 15%) of Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP) supplemented in…
This study aimed to develop a lipid-based paste form of Ready-to-Use Complementary Food (RUCF) using locally available ingredients, while investigating the physicochemical changes during 21 days of storage. Three formulations were proposed and assessed using B one touch viscometer for viscosity, CS410 handheld colorimeter for color, pawkit water activity analyzer for water activity, and e…

Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam.) is characterized by red coloration, due to its high amounts of carotenoid, an ideal source for natural food colorants. However, carotenoids are prone to degradation during processing. Co-crystallization is used to improve the applicability and stability of these pigments. Carotenoid content analysis was done to see the effect of processing on the recoverab…
Red fruit oil is a native plant found in Papua Island with a high carotenoid concentration, thus it is considered a promising source of natural food colorant. However, as it is present in the form of oil, it is prone to oxidation and hard to dissolve in water. Hence, an encapsulation method such as co-crystallization is required. Sodium caseinate, WPI, and SPI were used in this study as a pr…
