The peel of red dragon fruit usually discarded. It is rich in polyphenol compounds that have antioxidant activity and health benefits. This research aimed to determine the antioxidant properties of herbal tea such as phenolic content, betacyanin content, and antioxidant activity. The herbal tea prepared with hot oven drying methods, where’s the fresh peel of red dragon fruit and ginger were cut to be small pieces and dried at 60oC, and ground into tea powder then mixed as treatments. Results showed that the addition of ginger has no significant effect on phenolic content, and betacyanin content decreased by the addition of ginger. The phenolic content of herbal tea (0% ginger) and the highest addition of ginger (12%) were 3.39±1.19 mg GAE/g and 3.59±1.43 mg GAE/g respectively. The betacyanin content were 124.63±1.61 mg/100 g (0% ginger) and 104.01±2.99 mg/100g (12% ginger). As the amount of ginger added increased, the percentage of inhibition of herbal tea decreased from 66.23%±2.67 to 61.19%±2.45%.

Jagung banyak dibudidayakan di Kenagarian Andaleh di Kecamatan Luak, Kabupaten Limapuluh Kota.

Kata kunci: Jagung Gigi Kuda, Nagari Andaleh, Nugget Jagung, Alih Teknologi, Pangan Lokal ABSTRACT Corn is widely cultivated in Andaleh Village, Luak Sub-district, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. The type of corn that cultivated in this village is dent corn (Zea mays var. indentata), which often used as animal feed, especially poultry feed. Dent corn has a tooth-shaped seed, contains high carbohydrates (starch), and has a hard texture. The characteristic of this corn form is that the seeds have an indentation in the middle or top of the seed. The purpose of this programs was to increased the knowledge Andaleh Village community, Luak District, about the utilization of local food, especially dent corn through the transition technology of corn processing to be corn nuggets. The activity began with provided counseling on sanitation practices, including personal sanitation, equipment sanitation, and processing sanitation, as well as good manufacturing practice. Corn nuggets were made from a mixture of chicken and corn in a ratio of 1: 0.2. Through this programs, the community will be able to apply hygiene and sanitation in food processing, and have expertise in processing corn into new products like nuggets, thereby can increase the utilization of local foodstuffs and improve the community's economy. Transition technology to use local dent corn was expected to grow the motivation of community to develop household-scale businesses that have an effect to increase the economy of the Andaleh Village community.

The peel of red dragon fruits contains a bioactive component, which is beneficial as a raw material to make instant beverage powder. The peel extract was combined with milk and a filler and then dried with a spray drying method. The study aimed to determine the characteristics of instant powder with a maltodextrin and cocoa powders as fillers. 15% filler of the total volume of liquid was added, and the treatment of ratio of maltodextrin and cocoa powders were P1 (15%:0%), P2 (14.5%:0.5%), P3 (14%:1%), P4 (13.5%:1.5%), and P5 (13%:2%). The results showed that the solubility of instant powder was 92.86-97.13% with a pH value of 5.73-5.96. The moisture content of powder was 3.95% -4.45%. Meanwhile, protein and fat contents were 8.23%-9.34% and 0.30%-0.84%, respectively. The highest total phenolic content of instant powder was 60.17 mg GAE/100g of the sample.

Strawberies much contain of phytochemicals, included polyphenols which are reported to reduce cancer risk a coronary heart desease and others degeneratives diseases. These effects are considered as most important to be related to the capacity of polyphenol antioxidant found in strawberries. In connection of this case,then a research to be done to know strawberries potential in its utilization on the making of wet noodle.The purposes of this research are to grade physical quality (include color.aroma,texture and taste) and nutrient quality of strawberries wet nodle. Research type of to be used is "experimental Design" with way of treating different increment strawberries quantity to the each three treatments 50 grams,100 grams and 150 grams also using wet noodle control without strawberries increment. Datas gathering of physical strawberries wet noodleto to do through organoleptic by 20 trained semi panelists. Than, nutrient quality datas to be gotten with proximate wet noodle content analyzing with HPLC methode and also "Nutry Survey" program on computer software. Data analyzing for physical quality t do with ANOVA at significant level 5 percent to be trhough with Duncan's difference test at significant level 5 percent. Than nutrient quality datas descriptively analyzed after to be compared with noodle's nutrient quality without strawberries (control) also wet noodle's nutrient quality that contained in Food Stuff Composition List. Result of this research to show that strawberries wet noodle has good physical quality (at preferred level).treatment to be preferred is wet noodle with the increment of 100gram strawberries.The quality of strawberries wet noodle is also better because contains antioxidant especially polyphenols than to be compared with wet noodle without strawberries (control) and wet noodle in Food Stuff Composition List.
