Solid brem is one of Indonesian traditional food. The low level of antioxidant content might be increased by adding powdered spice formula which is rich in phenolic compounds. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of powdered spices formula on antioxidant activity and sensory quality of solid brem. The formulation of powdered spices was ginger, turmeric, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, and cinnamon in a ratio of 3: 1: 1: 1: 1: 0.5. Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six treatments of adding powdered spices formula (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%) and three replications were used as the method. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level using Co-Stat software and tested further by Orthogonal Polynomial Method (OPM) or using Honestly Significant Difference (HSD). The result showed that adding powdered spices formula on solid brem had a significant different effect on antioxidant activity, water activity, pH value, physical quality (texture and color), and sensory quality (hedonic) on color, taste, texture, and melting in the mouth. The addition of 4% of the spices formula is recommended to produce the best quality of solid brem with the following characteristic: 80.51% of antioxidant activity, 15.71 mg GAE/g of material total phenol, 40.90% Brix of total dissolved solids, 0.55 water activity (Aw), 3.44 pH value, 9.08 N texture value (physical), and 84.68 °Hue color value (physical). The product had light yellow; slightly spicy, solid and rather smooth texture, and melting in the mouth. The high content of antioxidant activity in the product proved the potential of using powdered spices in improving the antioxidant activity of solid brem.

Abstract

Solid brem is one of Indonesian traditional food. The low level of antioxidant content might be increased by adding powdered spice formula which is rich in phenolic compounds. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of powdered spices formula on antioxidant activity and sensory quality of solid brem. The formulation of powdered spices was ginger, turmeric, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, and cinnamon in a ratio of 3: 1: 1: 1: 1: 0.5. Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six treatments of adding powdered spices formula (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%) and three replications were used as the method. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level using Co-Stat software and tested further by Orthogonal Polynomial Method (OPM) or using Honestly Significant Difference (HSD). The result showed that adding powdered spices formula on solid brem had a significant different effect on antioxidant activity, water activity, pH value, physical quality (texture and color), and sensory quality (hedonic) on color, taste, texture, and melting in the mouth. The addition of 4% of the spices formula is recommended to produce the best quality of solid brem with the following characteristic: 80.51% of antioxidant activity, 15.71 mg GAE/g of material total phenol, 40.90% Brix of total dissolved solids, 0.55 water activity (Aw), 3.44 pH value, 9.08 N texture value (physical), and 84.68 °Hue color value (physical). The product had light yellow; slightly spicy, solid and rather smooth texture, and melting in the mouth. The high content of antioxidant activity in the product proved the potential of using powdered spices in improving the antioxidant activity of solid brem.
