    Development and Characterisation of Pumpkin Seed Coffee Formulations: Nutritional, Antioxidant, and Sensory Properties
    (Editora UFLA, 2025-05-07) Syam, Aminuddin; Najamuddin, Ulfah; Kurniaty, Yessy; Amalia, Marini
    Coffee and pumpkin seeds are both well-known sources of antioxidants, but few studies have explored their combined effects. This study investigates the potential of a coffee-pumpkin seed blend to enhance nutritional intake and offer health benefits. Three coffee formulations with varying coffee-to-pumpkin seed ratios (80:20, 70:30, and 60:40) were prepared and analyzed for their nutritional and antioxidant properties. Proximate analysis, following AOAC methods, was used to determine macronutrient content, while vitamin levels were quantified using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Mineral content was assessed by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), and antioxidant capacity was evaluated using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. Shelf life was estimated using Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing (ASLT). Results showed that Formula C (60:40 ratio) had the highest protein, fat, zinc, and iron content, while Formula A (80:20) was richest in carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamin A (β-carotene). Antioxidant activity increased with pumpkin seed content, with Formula C exhibiting the highest capacity. Sensory evaluation favored Formula A, and shelf-life testing revealed it had the longest shelf life. This study highlights the potential of pumpkin seed-infused coffee as a functional beverage, with enhanced antioxidant capacity and improved nutritional profile. However, further research, including in vivo studies and clinical trials, is needed to confirm the health benefits and identify the optimal formulation for maximum efficacy.

    Qualities of arabica and robusta cascara kombucha with different concentrations of starter
    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2022-12-29) Anjliany, Meysin; Syafutri, Merynda Indriyani; Widowati, Tri Wardani
    Coffee waste consisted of coffee peel (45%), mucilage (10%) and seed peel (5%). Generally, coffee peel is used in the manufacture of fertilizers. Coffee peel waste is a potential material that can be the producer of caffeine, polyphenol, bioethanol, antioxidantand antimicrobial. Coffee peel has many benefits including ward off free radicals, protect the stomach and give a firming effect on skin. This research aimed to create functional drink with high antioxidant activity by optimizing arabica and robusta coffee peel waste. This research used Completely Randomized Factorial Design with two treatment factors namely type of cascara (arabica and robusta) and starter concentration variation (5%, 10% and 15%). The treatment repeated three times. The parameters observed were total polyphenol, total titrated acid, total dissolved solid, pH and total mesophilic aerobic bacteria. The results showed that coffee peel type, starter concentration variation and the interaction between two factors had significant effects on total titrated acid and total dissolved solid cascara kombucha. Cascara kombucha with robusta coffee peel and starter concentration at 10% was chosen as the best treatment with total phenol 93.18 μg/ mL, TTA 0.82%, TDS 3.80°Brix, pH 4.21, and TMAB 7,7 log CFU/mL.
