Modern food packaging provides a way to make food safe, reliable, shelf-stable and clean. Edible films, composed of biopolymers that biodegrade along with the food they contain, offer a preservation in structural integrity, and prevention in microbial growth as well as moisture loss. Edible films, crafted from abundantly found ingredients like carrageenan, offer a cost-effective and environ…
Utilization of local raw materials such as sago can be an alternative to replace the use of wheat flour in noodle production. However, noodles in general and even sago noodles lack essential nutrients, especially protein and minerals. To address this, fortification processes involving the materials high in protein, anchovies (Stolephorus sp.) and minerals, brown seaweed (Sargassum sp.) are e…
The increasing popularity of pasta is correlated with both modern and busy consumer lifestyles where versatility and convenience become a major key factor in consumer perception and buying decisions. In order to fulfill the market demand, a modern approach to optimize the nutritional value as well as the physical properties of pasta by fortifications has been promoted. One example of the for…
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a carcinogenic mycotoxin that is widely present in coffee beans and causes public health concern that can widely grow in Indonesia’s temperature. This present study aims to evaluate the OTA contamination level in Robusta coffee beans Indonesia using LC-MS/MS analysis. The age group and consumption rate was determined from the literature as follows: 19-25 years old (h…
As a fruit, apple provides a considerable amount of bioactive compounds, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. It is known as rapidly perishable food and is usually processed into apple juice in order to prolong its shelf-life. Conventional apple juice processing utilizes the thermal treatment that may cause the degradation of bioactive compounds. Alternatively, a hurdle of…
A significant amount of seaweed is produced in Thailand. Therefore, the innovation of seaweed must improve the market for harvesters. The hydrocolloid gels in the food industry are becoming more popular due to their ability to improve food quality . Fish cake is a soft, springy processed food made from shredded fish that has been combined with crushed ice and salt. The addition of hydrocoll…
Indonesia is a major coffee producer with government initiatives targeting the increased demand for Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica). However, Indonesia is a tropical country, which is ideal for the growth of Ochratoxin A (OTA) producers like Aspergillus and Penicillium. OTA is a food safety risk due to its potential for nephrotoxicity and carcinogenicity at high exposure levels. There is sti…
Developing Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP) from alternative sources is crucial in addressing the concerns associated with soy-based TVP. This study explores the potential of rice bran and mung bean as sustainable and nutritious alternatives to soy in TVP production. The samples were formulated to produce TVP with 55% protein based on the materials: soy (S-TVP) as control, soy and rice bra…
The prevalence of celiac disease has increased significantly over the past decades due to people’s growing knowledge and awareness of the disease, as well as recent advances in its diagnostic tests. This causes the rise of gluten-free foods, including gluten-free bakery goods. Out of all gluten-free flours, rice flour has been recognised as the most suitable flour for gluten-free bakery go…
Pasta is a popular option for many consumers in the world wide. Colored pasta is one creative method to draw consumers' visual. Red fruit oil (RFO) is one of the natural colorants available. RFO has low solubility and sensitive to external conditions. An innovative solution to the problem is using encapsulation to convert oil-based components into powder-based ones. This study aims to examin…
Natural colorant is currently preferred over synthetic colorant due to health reasons. Red fruit oil (RFO) extract becomes a potential orange-red natural source. However, limitation in solubility and susceptibility to external conditions is present. Encapsulation by co-crystallization can be utilized to solve the limitations. During the co-crystallization process, xylitol is utilized to repl…
