The aim of this research was to analyze the chemical characteristics of Velva products from the mixture of bananas and blueberries with the addition of CMC. This study used a two-factorial completely randomized design with the first factor being the proportion of bananas and blueberries (40:60, 50:50 and 60:40). The second factor was concentration of CMC (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5%). Chemical analysis in this research included total acid, vitamin C, antioxidant activity, crude fiber content, protein, and fat. The data were analyzed by ANOVA using SPSS version 26 with Duncan Multiple Range Test at 5 % probability level. The best results based on the best chemical characteristics were obtained in the treatment of banana and blueberry proportions of (40:60) and CMC concentration of (0.5%) which had characteristics 0.613% total acid, 7.627 mg/100g vitamin C, 42.893% antioxidant activity, 4.450% crude fiber, 3.657% protein and 0.127% fat.
Banana is one of the most popular fruits that contains high nutrition. However, banana is perishable or easily rotten; therefore, further processing is necessary. One of the products produced from raw banana ingredient is Velva. However, Velva that was formed from banana has rather unatrractive color, thus it's important to add another ingredient such as blueberries. Blueberries add nutritional value to the Velva since they contain Vitamin C and anthocyanins which can act as antioxidants and add on red-purplish color. The problem arises in the Velva manufacturing is the formation of unstable texture; therefore, CMC as a stabilizer is needed. This study aims to determine the physical characteristics of the produced Velva using the proportions of bananas and blueberries and the CMC concentrations. This study used a completely randomized design with two factored factorial patterns. Factor I was the proportion of bananas:blueberries (40:60, 50:50 and 60:40) and Factor II was the CMC concentrations (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5%). Each treatment was repeated three times. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS ver. 26 with Duncan's advanced test level of 5%. The best treatment was obtained at the proportion of bananas:blueberries (40:60) and CMC concentrations of 0.5% with viscosity criteria of 162 mPas, melting time of 19.340 mins/10 g, overrun of 34.333% with color analysis of *L 27.472, a*43.207, b*0.817.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
