Formulasi, Karakterisasi, dan Diversifikasi Rasa Minuman Fungsional Berbasis Kunyit Asam serta Kajian Toksisitas dan Stabilitasnya Selama Penyimpanan

Abstract

People believe that the mixture of turmeric and tamarind extracts used in jamu drink had a specific function for human health. This research was purposed to improve sensory characteristic and antioxidant capacities of turmeric and tamarind based functional drink. This research was done in pre-research and main research. In pre-research formulation of turmeric and tamarind based functional drink was done by mix of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 % v/v turmeric with 5 % tamarind extract with analysis of antioxidant, pH, and total phenol components. In main research sensory characteristic diversification formulation were done by addition of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 % v/v cinnamon, nutmeg, and lime extract and followed by antioxidant capacity and sensory characteristic analysis. The chosen formula was followed by acute toxicity analysis to decide LD 50 and Arhennius accelerated method to decide stability of the chosen formula. The pre-research result showed that mixture of 10 % v/v turmeric and 5 % tamarind based functional drink with addition of 2% v/v lime extract was the chosen formula with 99.594 ppm AAE antioxidant capacity and 97.451 ppm total phenol components. The main research showed that turmeric and tamarind based functional drink diversification with addition of 2 % v/v lime extract was the chosen formula with 103.761 ppm AAE antioxidant capacity and stable in 59 days at room temperature (300C) and 178 days at chiller temperature (50C). Acute toxicity analysis of the chosen formula showed that this chosen formula had an unclassified zone of LD50 which means the chosen formula had very low acute toxicity level.
