Amorphophallus oncophyllus contain\u0000high glucomannan. Glucomannan as a hydrocolloid has gelling agent properties. Water in\u0000food can also be reduced in the presence of sugar which has hygroscopic properties. The\u0000purpose of this research is to describe effect of glucomannan and sugar concentration for\u0000physicochemical and organoleptic dragon fruit skin slice jam. The treatments are\u0000glucomannan (1%, 1.5%, 2%), sugar (10%, 15%, 20%), and single control (glucomannan\u00001% with sugar 0%). Samples were analyzed by color, water activity, syneresis, total solid\u0000soluble (TSS), texture, and hedonic test. The result showed that the addition of\u0000glucomannan and sugar significantly affect decrease of water activity, syneresis and\u0000increase TSS and texture. Based on overall hedonic test, panelist preferred 1%\u0000glucomannan with 15% sugar formulation.","PeriodicalId":12410,"journal":{"name":"Food Research","volume":"123 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140679044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
