The study aims to determine the effect of the proportion of κ-carrageenan and the hot water extract of pluchea leaf tea on the quality and sensory properties of stink lily wet noodles. The research design is a randomized block design with two factors, i.e., the difference in the proportion of κ-carrageenan (K) (0, 1, 2, and 3% w/w) and the addition of the hot water extract of the Pluchea indica Less leaf tea (L) (0, 15, and 30% w/v), with 12 treatment levels (K0L0, K0L1, K0L2, K1L0, K1L1, K1L2, K2L0, K2L1, K2L2, K3L0, K3L1, K3L2). The data are analyzed by the ANOVA at p < 5% and continued with the Duncan’s multiple range test at p < 5%, and the best treatment was determined by the spider web method based on sensory assay by a hedonic method. The proportions of κ-carrageenan and the concentration of pluchea tea extract had a significant effect on the cooking quality and sensory properties. However, the interaction of the two factors affected the swelling index, yellowness (b*), chroma (C), hue (h), total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and DPPH free radical scavenging assay (DPPH). The best treatment of wet noodles was K2L0, with a preference score of 15.8. The binding of κ-carrageenan and phenolic compounds to make a networking structure by intra- and inter-disulfide bind between glucomannan and gluten was thought to affect the cooking quality, sensory properties, bioactive compounds (TPC and TFC), and DPPH.

The used formula in food processing could affect the product characteristics, including on rice-based spring roll wrappers. This research was aimed to find out an appropriate formula to get cohesive and firm mass by using four kinds of rice-based formulas on two different varieties of rice. Mentik Wangi and Ciherang varieties were used as the two preferred local rice varieties. The research used the randomized block design of nested experiment. The ingredients used for each formulation were rice flour and water (F1); rice flour, tapioca starch and water (F2); rice flour, egg white albumin and water (F3) and rice flour, tapioca starch, egg white albumin and water (F4). The weakness of rice flour is the difficulty to form cohesive mass and firm network because of its lack of gluten. The combination of egg white albumin and tapioca starch along with sufficient mechanical energy intended to carry out viscosity increasing and create an appropriate texture. The study indicated that best formula was F4 from both of Mentik Wangi and Ciherang varieties which produced cohesive and firm mass. There was no significant difference between the two rice varieties (P > 0.05). The characteristics of rice-based spring roll wrapper from Mentik Wangi and Ciherang varieties were; firmness: 0.5532±0.0051 N and 0.8131±0.0057 N; elongation at break: 15.98±0.47% and 16.28±0.29% and moisture retention capacity: 38.29±0.12% and 42.60±0.29% respectively.

The study reported carbohydrate profiles of mung bean that was soaked for different times, and how the bean can be a potential food in Indonesia for breastfeeding women with diabetes mellitus (DM). This study used a single factor with completely randomized design. The soaking time was a factor with five levels; 0 (control), 2, 4, 6, and 8 hrs. Each treatment level was replicated three times. Observed dependent variables of carbohydrate profiles were starch, amylose, total sugar, total dietary fiber (TDF), insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF), and resistant starch (RS) contents. The results were subjected to one-way ANOVA and least significant difference test at p<0.05 using SPSS (version 19). The soaking time resulted in a decrease of the starch content, relatively unchanged amylose content, and an increase of the reducing sugar content. The TDF tended to decrease, the RS was significantly (p<0.05) higher than the unsoaked mung bean from 4 hrs of soaking and the SDF tended to increase with soaking. Generally, the digestible (total sugar) and indigestible (total dietary fiber and resistant starch) carbohydrates increased during the soaking. The overall results would indicate fewer calories and inhibition of blood sugar increases that are beneficial to breastfeeding women with DM. The findings provide a new scientific understanding of mung bean as an alternative food source for breastfeeding women with diabetes mellitus and can contribute to formulating national and global DM management food policy.

IRT Dapure Indah adalah salah satu industri rumah tangga yang bergerak dibidang penjualan pangsit mi. Bahan baku mi basah yang dijual berasal dari suatu industri pembuatan mi komersial di kota Surabaya. Oleh karena itu IRT ini menjual pangsit mi dengan harga dasar sangat tergantung pada harga mi basah yang dibeli, sehingga mempengaruhi jumlah pangsit mi yang terjual. Selama ini IRT Dapure Indah belum mengetahui cara memproduksi mi basah serta diversifikasinya. Beluntas adalah tanaman herbal yang telah terbukti mempunyai aktivitas antioksidan dan antidiabetik. Penggunaan air seduhan teh daun beluntas dalam pembuatan mi beluntas sebagai diversifikasi mi basah belum pernah diperkenalkan dan dikomersialkan. Oleh karena itu perlu memberikan pelatihan aplikasi penggunaan air seduhan teh daun beluntas untuk memperkaya nilai fungsional dari mi basah, disamping memberikan pelatihan cara pembuatan mi basah plain (umum/kontrol) pada IRT Dapure Indah. Tujuan dari pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah memberikan pelatihan memproduksi mi basah plain/umum/kontrol dan mi beluntas sebagai diversifikasi untuk meningkatkan ekonomi IRT Dapure Indah. Kegiatan abdimas berlangsung di IRT Dapure Indah di Perumahan Green Semanggi Mangrove Blok G1-23 selama 3 bulan (Mei-Juli 2022), selama waktu tersebut tim abdimas memberikan pelatihan tentang pembuatan mi basah plain (umum/kontrol) dan diversifikasinya dengan air seduhan beluntas serta penanganan produk selama penyimpanan. Setelah pelatihan pada pertengahan bulan Juni- awal Juli IRT Dapure Indah sudah 2 kali memproduksi mi basah dan pada awal bulan Juli IRT Dapure Indah sudah membuat diversifikasi mi basah dengan air seduhan daun beluntas. Hasil penjualan mi plain dan mi beluntas meningkatkan kesukaan konsumen terhadap mi yang dijual berdasarkan kategori warna, rasa, aroma, tekstur dan kesukaan secara keseluruhan. Tingkat kesukaan konsumen terhadap mi plain maupun beluntas dalam kategori antara suka (skor 4) hingga sangat suka (skor 5), nilai kesukaan terhadap warna, rasa, aroma, tekstur dan keseluruhan untuk mi plain secara berturut-turut adalah sebagai berikut : 4,29; 4,36; 4,21; 4,29; 4,57, sedangkan mi beluntas secara berturut-turut 4,27; 4,47; 4,40; 4,27; 4,73. Konsumen lebih menyukai warna dan tekstur mi basah plain dibandingkan mi beluntas karena mempunyai warna putih kekuningan dan tidak mudah putus dan kenyal. Sedangkan tingkat kesukaan konsumen terhadap rasa, aroma dan keseluruhan untuk mi beluntas lebih tinggi dibandingkan mi plain karena gurih, beraroma daun/wangi, dan enak. Mi basah yang dihasilkan akan mempunyai shelf life lebih lama jika disimpan di freezer dibandingkan direfrigerator.

The raw material for wet noodles sold comes from a commercial noodle-making industry in the city of Surabaya. Therefore, this IRT sells noodle dumplings with a base price that really depends on the price of wet noodles purchased, thus affecting the number of noodle dumplings sold. So far, IRT Dapure Indah does not know how to produce wet noodles and how to diversify them. Pluchea is an herbal plant that has shown to have antioxidant and antidiabetic activity. The use of pluchea leaf tea steeping in the manufacture of pluchea noodles as diversification of wet noodles has never been introduced and commercialized. Therefore, it is necessary to provide training in the application of using pluchea leaf tea to enrich the functional value of wet noodles, in addition to providing training on how to make plain wet noodles (general/control) at IRT Dapure Indah. The purpose of this community service was to provide training to produce plain/general/control wet noodles and pluchea noodles as a diversification to improve the economy of IRT Dapure Indah. The community service activity took place at IRT Dapure Indah at the Green Semanggi Mangrove Housing Block G1-23 for 3 months (May-July 2022), during which time the community service team provided training on making plain wet noodles (general/control) and diversifying it with pluchea steeped water and product handling during storage. After training in mid-June-early July IRT Dapure Indah produced 2 wet noodles and in early July IRT Dapure Indah diversified wet noodles with water steeped in pluchea leaves. The sales of plain noodles and pluchea noodles increased consumer preference for noodles sold based on the categories of color, taste, aroma, texture, and overall preference. The level of consumer preference for plain and pluchea noodles in the category between like (score 4) to really like (score 5), the preference values ​​for color, taste, aroma, texture, and overall for plain noodles were as follows: 4.29; 4.36; 4.21; 4.29; 4.57, while the noodles pluchea were 4.27; 4.47; 4.40; 4.27; 4.73. Consumers prefered the color and texture of plain wet noodles to pluchea noodles because they have a yellowish-white color and were not easily broken and chewy. While the level of consumer preference for taste, aroma, and overall pluchea noodles was higher than plain noodles because it was savory, have a leafy aroma, and was delicious. The resulting wet noodles would have a longer shelf life if stored in the freezer than in the refrigerator. Keywords: IRT Dapure Indah, economy, wet noodles, pluchea noodles
