Probiotic ice cream is one of methods in improving benefit and functional value of common ice cream. This research studies about the effect of probiotic added in form of capsules and maturation (aging) time on the physical quality and sensory acceptability. The article presents data of overrun, melting time, viscosity, and panelists’ preferences in terms of probiotic ice cream characteristics. The data is calculated statistically by using ANOVA. The results show that aging time determines most of evaluated physical characteristics, while inserting probiotic capsules tends to affect overrun specifically. Combination between a moderate percentage of probiotic capsules and aging time, 5% and 18 hours respectively, generates good and preferred quality of probiotic ice cream in all evaluated characteristics.

(Effect of Ascorbic Acid Concentration and Soaking Time on Water Content And Peroxide Numbers of Copra Oil) ABSTRACT. Copra oil is a product produced from the dried coconut through several stages of drying until the moisture content reaches 5-6%. Copra oil susceptible to oxidation due to containing high fat content. This causes the oil susceptible to rancidity, discoloration and odor. One of the efforts to prevent the oxidation of foods high in fat can be done with the giving ascorbic acid as an antioxidant. The purpose of this study was to determine the ascorbic acid concentration and coconut meat soaking time in the solution as well as to determine the effect of ascorbic acid on the water content and peroxide numbers of copra oil. This study used a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with 2 factorial and three levels: (1) ascorbic acid concentration (0.5%, 1% and 1.55%) and (2) soaking time (10 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes). The results showed that ascorbic acid concentration has significant effect (P≤0,01) on peroxide number. While soaking time has significant effect on the water content and peroxide.

Skim coconut milk is a liquid by-product of coconut oil production with limited utilization in food processing. It has nutritional value such as protein, carbohydrate and mineral, so it is possible to be used as raw material for processing food products, such as yogurt. The use of tofu waste flour and skim milk as prebiotic and protein source is intended to improve the physical quality of yogurt skim coconut milk. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 2 factors and 3 levels (1,5%, 3%, and 4,5%), and several skim milk concentrations (10%, 12,5%, and 15%). The results of this study indicated that the addition of tofu waste flour and skim milk have no significant effect on the viscosity of the coconut milk yogurt. In the organoleptic test, the addition of tofu waste flour showed significant effect on panelist perception of flavor, aroma, and color. The higher the percentage of the flour, the lower the panelist preference on flavor, aroma, and color; flavor. High concentration of flour can increase the total of soluble solid content in yogurt. A concentration of 4.5% tofu waste flour and 15% skim milk produced 13,89 oBrix and 15,44 oBrix soluble solids resulting in the highest viscosity value of 609,6 Cp.
