Gummy Jelly Product from Water Extract of Garcinia Mixed with Indian Gooseberry and Fingerroot

Abstract

Garcinia, Indian gooseberry, and fingerroot are food herbs that have biological activity in boosting the body's immunity. The purpose of this study was to survey consumers' opinions on healthy food products derived from Garcinia, Indian gooseberry, and fingerroot to gather data on their development. The results of a consumer survey using a questionnaire revealed that most of the sample (50 percent) were more interested in health food products in the form of gummy jelly than jelly sticks, liquid jelly, and pudding due to their ease of consumption and portability. The development of gummy jelly from water extracts of Garcinia mixed with Indian gooseberry revealed that the appropriate amount of gelatin in the formula was studied at 12 percent and 15 percent. It was found that gelatin was used for 15 percent of the total ingredients. As a result, the gummy jelly product has a lighter color. Increased clarity Hard and sticky textures reduced the Aw value and moisture content. The gummy jelly product had a higher protein and ash content, but it did not affect the fat content. Tasting testers preferred the 15 percent gelatin content over the 12 percent gelatin-based gummies. The 100-gramme developed gummy jelly product has 17.47 g of protein, 0.43 g of fat, 0.49 g of ash, and 81.66 g of carbohydrates. It has an antioxidant content of DPPH of 355.23 mg of Trolox/100 g equivalent and a total phenolic content of 192.55 mg of gallic acid equivalent/100 grams. Therefore, it is an ideal health supplement to support the body's immune system.
