Formulation of Instan Powder from the Combination of Single-bulb Black Garlic (Allium sativum L.) and Rosella Flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) with Foam Mat Drying Method

Abstract

Single-bulb garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a plant with various properties, such as anticancer, antibacterial, antihypertensive, and antioxidant. The processed product of garlic is black garlic which is made by fermenting garlic by heating at a temperature of 60-90°C within a few days. Formulated products in instant powder drinks can increase public consumption interest. This study aimed to formulate an instant powder functional beverage from single-bulb black garlic combined with rosella flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) using the foam mat drying method. Egg white is used as a foaming agent and methylcellulose as a foam stabilizer. The formula consisted of single-bulb black garlic powder, rosella flower powder, powder combination of single-bulb black garlic, and rosella flower (30:70) and (50:50). The color, smell, taste, and water content of the four formulas have met the quality standard of SNI 01-4320-1996. DPPH free radical scavenging test with parameter IC50 showed that the combination powder of single-bulb black garlic and rosella flower (30:70) had higher antioxidant activity than the other combination (50:50). The consumer acceptance test on the combined instant powder formula showed that consumers preferred the combination powder of single-bulb black garlic and rosella flower (30:70).

Uji Efektivitas Ekstrak Umbi Bawang Putih (Allium Sativum l) terhadap Kadar Glukosa Darah Mencit (Mus Musculus) yang Diinduksi Aloksan

“…Dengan menghasilkan serotonin, neurotransmitter yang memiliki peran dalam pengaturan suasana hati dan perilaku termasuk kecemasan, rasa sakit, ketegangan, agresi, kemurungan, dan kurang tidur, bawang putih juga dapat membantu mengurangi kecemasan, stres, dan depresi, menurut Dr. Gilles Fillion dari Pasteur Institute di Prancis. Ketika kadar neurotransmitter serotonin tinggi di otak, ia memiliki efek menenangkan, membantu pengaturan suasana hati, dan meningkatkan kualitas tidur (Krisnawan et al, 2022). Bersarakan uraian di atas, maka peneliti tetarik melakukan uji efektivitas ekstrak umbi bawang putih (allium sativum l.) Terhadap kadar glukosa darah mencit (mus musculus) yang diinduksi aloksan.…”
