Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: . Ambon banana (Musa paradisiaca) is widely consumed without its peel, which causes environmental pollution. Banana peel has a high pectin content of 22.4%, potentially as a jam product. Blueberries (Vaccinium sect. Cyanococcus) contain anthocyanin and are usually available as a natural food colorant. Therefore, the innovation of banana jam with banana peel and the addition of blueberry fruits has a high potential to give the consumer a more favorable color and taste. This study aims to get the best formulations based on the panelist's preference of the jam color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall liking of various variations of banana peel puree and blueberry fruit in banana jam with banana peel and adding blueberries. The method used in this research is a complete randomized design method with three treatments and data analysis using ANOVA Duncan alpha 5% test. This study showed the effectiveness of anthocyanin as a natural food colorant and the pectin content in the banana peel as a jam with a high shelf-life food.
