Students of the Food
Technology Study Program, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Udayana
University won 1st place in the Reels Competition at the Food and Nutrition Festival
(FANFEST) held by Sahid University (USAHID) in 2023 with the theme “The Importance
Of The Role Of Millennials In Local Food Innovation And The Use Of Food
Additives That Are Safe”. The group of students who won first place consisted
of Maria Virginia Myrananda, Ni Kadek Alit Wirastuti, and Putu Anjani Dana
Risti with the title Video Reels made, namely KuBu Dragon Extract as Apem Cake Food
Colorant.
Ni Kadek Alit Wirastuti
who is often called Alit explained that in apem snacks there are sometimes dangerous
food additives, namely Rhodamin B. Therefore we made a natural food colorant
that can replace rhodamin B, namely Dragon Fruit Peel Extract because it
contains quite high anthocyanin which this substance gives red color and can
also function as an antioxidant so that it is suitable as a natural food
colorant and can be a solution to the problem about the use of food colorant,
especially dangerous dyes such as Rhodamin B in making Apem cake.
In addition, she also
said that in the future the team will continue to take part in competitions
related to Agricultural Technology, especially in the field of Food Technology,
be it poster competitions, Video Reels competitions or essays and scientific
papers, she also hopes that many colleagues will also following in her
footsteps to actively participate in competitions at the national and
international levels in order to increase student achievement in the Food
Technology Study Program, she said.
