ANALYSIS OF DIETARY FIBRE, VITAMIN C, AND TEXTURE PROPERTY OF SEAWEED JELLY WITH POMELO ALBEDO SUBSTITUTION
Abstract
Background: Pomelo is a fruit with a high nutritional value. However
Its use as food ingredients has not been optimized. Seaweed can lose its
nutrients content due to various treatments in processing. Pomelo albedo
was known for its vitamin C, fibre and pectin content. This substitution
can increase nutritional value on food. Objective: This study aimed to
increase the nutrient value in seaweed jelly product by pomelo albedo
as a substitution and its pectin expected to replace the use of gelatin in
jelly making. Methods: This research was an experimental study with a
completely randomized design (CRD) method with one factor, specifically
the addition of pomelo albedo. Results: There is a significant difference
in vitamin C and dietary fibre content in each treatment group (p-value
0.000). The highest content of vitamin C and dietary fibre was found in
samples by 45% pomelo albedo substitution with vitamin C 32.39% and
dietary fibre 2.60%. The texture of jelly shows a significant difference
with p-value 0.041. Conclusion: The substitution of pomelo albedo gave
a significant difference in increasing vitamin C and dietary fibre content in
seaweed jelly. In addition the right amount of pomelo albedo can be used as
a substitute for gelatin.
