Applying The Extract To Mayonnaise, Muhammad Eriansyah Successfully Achieved A Bachelor's Degree And Took Part In The International Conference
Muhammad
Eriansyah Al Hakim, S.TP, who is usually called ERI, successfully got a Bachelor's degree in Food Technology (S.TP.)
at the Food Technology Study Program, Udayana University, which will be
graduated in December 2023 by conducting a study on the Effect of Concentration
on Adding Wuluh Starfruit Leaf Extract. (Averrhoa bilimbi. L) on the
antioxidant and sensory activity of mayonnaise under the guidance of Dr. Gusti
Ayu Kadek Diah Puspawati, S.TP., M.Si. and Prof. Dr. Ir. I Nengah Kencana
Putra, M.S
The
research carried out was to make mayonnaise by adding natural antioxidants with
the aim of increasing the antioxidant content in mayonnaise which is beneficial
both for the body and extending the shelf life of mayonnaise. Generally,
synthetic antioxidants are added to mayonnaise such as BHT (butyl hydroxyl
toluene) or BHA (butyl hydroxyl anisole) where the use of synthetic
antioxidants is quite widely used in various mayonnaise products, however the
use of synthetic antioxidants has the disadvantage that it is not good for body
health, therefore there needs to be development from the use of natural
antioxidants in mayonnaise products, one of which comes from starfruit leaf
extract.
Eri
in his research reported a significant increase in antioxidant activity, namely
69.9%, which was also caused by the high antioxidant IC50 in
starfruit leaf extract of 28.35 ppm. Apart from antioxidant activity, an
increase also occurred in total phenols which had the highest value of 111.27
mg GAE/g. The research conducted by ERI has also been presented at an
international conference, namely The 2nd International Conference on Innovative
Agriculture Technology (ICIAT) 2023 in front of participants from various
countries, even one of the conference participants from the Australian Catholic
University, namely Dr. Sharon Croxford was interested in the results presented
and asked about the potential of this product in the future.
