INTRODUCTION

 

Sensory quality is a collection of words to describe the characteristics of a food product, including color, appearance, shape, taste, and texture (Nisrina, 2018). The characteristics of the general appearance of the product include color, size, shape, surface texture, level of purity and product carbonation (Sipahelut, Rejeki, & Patty, n.d.). In food product commodities, color has an important role as attractiveness, identification, and quality attributes (Kurniati, Silvia, & Efendi, 2016).

Sensory testing (panel testing) plays an important role in product development by minimizing risk in decision making. Panelists can identify sensory properties that will help to describe the product. Sensory evaluation can be used to assess any desired or unwanted changes in the product or formulation ingredients, identify areas for development, determine whether optimizations have been achieved, evaluate competing products, observe changes that occur during processing or storage, and provide the necessary data for product promotion. Consumer acceptance and liking or preference, as well as correlations between sensory and chemical or physical measurements can also be obtained by sensory evaluation.

According to (Widiati, 2019) the hardness level of candy is grouped into 2, namely, hard candy and soft candy. Hard candy will not deform when pressed and will even break if forced. Meanwhile, soft candy is a candy that is easy to change with just a little pressure, for example chewy candy and bubble gum (Mustollah, 2016). Based on SNI 3547-2-2008, soft candy has a soft texture or becomes soft when chewed. One type of candy that is classified as soft candy is chewy candy. Chewy candy is made by cooking sugar until it reaches the desired solid, then adding gelling ingredients (gelatin, agar, pectin, and carrageenan) and adding flavor, color, and finally printing.

The texture that arises is largely determined by the crystal structure formed, which can be directed according to the industry by adjusting the composition of the material and the type of application of the manufacturing technology used. In hard candy, the crystallization process is prevented in such a way by adjusting the composition of sucrose and glucose syrup, so that after the cooking and cooling process is limited, it is immediately continued to the printing process. While the process of making chewy candy is different, where after the cooking process, a cooling process is carried out, using a cooling drum or a cooling table. Which is then followed by the pulling/beating process which aims to recrystallize.

Manalagi apple is a horticultural commodity that is widely developed in Indonesia (Sutanto & Ambarsari, 2016), one of which is Batu City and Pujon District, Malang Regency, East Java (Muhlisin, Karindah, & Rahardjo, 2015). The total production of apples in Batu City reached 708,438 quintals/year, while the number of apples rejected (subgrade) was 10% of the apple production. Apples have a fairly high nutritional content, especially vitamins (Hamidah, 2015) and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, carbohydrates, fats, protein, niacin, riboflavin, vitamins A, B1, B2, and vitamin C.

According to Soelarso, the quality standards that apply to apples are based on weight, size, and quantity per kilogram. Consists of 4 grades, namely: Grade A = 15.90% (3 � 4 pieces/kg), Grade B = 45.20% (5 � 7 pieces/kg), Grade C = 29.60% (8 � 10 pieces/kg), and Grade C = 29.60% (8 � 10 pieces/kg), and Grade D = 7.00% (11 � 15 pieces/kg). Apples that are very small (krill) and broken / defective / damaged are not included in classes A to D as much as 2.30%. Each grade of apple has a different size. Grade A has the largest size and grade D has the smallest size. While the damaged or defective are included in grade E. In general, grade E does not have a specific size because if grades A to D are damaged or defective, they will be included in grade E. The diameter sizes of each grade are: grade A 7 � 8 cm, grade B 6 � 7 cm, grade C 5 � 6 cm, and grade D <5 cm.

According to (Nurdjannah, 2007) fruit juice is one of the processed fruit products that has long been known. The high nutritional content, refreshing taste (Sihombing, 2013) and the emergence of public awareness of the importance of health encourage the development of the fruit juice industry as a substitute for soft drinks (Azizah, 2019), coffee or tea. Making fruit juice is intended to increase the shelf life of fruits (Sari, 2016). Each type of fruit has a slightly different juice making, but the principle is the same (Adnandiyanta & Hermawan, 2016). Fruit juice is made by crushing the flesh of the fruit and then pressing it to get the juice (Sa�adah & Estiasih, 2014), then the liquid is filtered, bottled, and pasteurized to make it last longer (Sutanto & Ambarsari, 2016).

Fruit juice is a soft drink made from fruit juice and mineral water with or without the addition of sugar and permitted food additives. The advantage that can be obtained from the consumption of fruit juice or juice is the ease of drinking it. In addition, the liquid consistency of the juice allows the dissolved substances to be easily absorbed by the body. By making juice, the cellulose cell walls of the fruit will be destroyed and dissolved so that it is more easily digested by the stomach and digestive tract. Fruit juice is one of the refreshing drinks for consumers. Quality fruit juice must be supported by choosing the right fruit.

Based on this background, a research was conducted on "The Effect of Addition of Manalagi (Malus sylvestris) Apple Juice to the Sensory Quality of Chewy Candy". The use of manalagi apples can be an alternative for the taste of chewy candy, to improve the sensory quality of chewy candy and be accepted by the general public.

 

RESEARCH METHODS

 

The research design used in this study was to make chewy candy with the addition of manalagi apple cider with different percentages, namely 20%, 40%, and 60%. The data obtained from the organoleptic assessment of chewy candy with the addition of manalagi apple juice will be analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, if there is an effect, it will be continued with the Tuckey's test. The analysis test was carried out at the 95% confidence level (α = 0.05).

For the results of the organoleptic test assessment with the addition of 20% manalagi apple cider, the highest value was 3.1. For 40%, manalagi apple cider has the highest score of 4.4. For 60% manalagi apple cider has the highest value of 2.2. Based on the descriptive results of the organoleptic test, the assessment of the moderately trained panelists on the chewy candy color of manalagi apple cider showed that the overall average score was 4.4 where the value was in the light green color category.

Analysis of the data used to test the hypothesis is the Friedman test, because the data in this study are non-parametric data. Non-parametric data to test the initial hypothesis that several samples come from the same/identical population. After being calculated using the Friedman test, Xcount = 26.81 was obtained. This value shows Xcount > Xtable. So H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, meaning that there is an effect of adding 20%, 40%, and 60% apple juice to the sensory quality of chewy candy on the color aspect, so it needs to be continued with multiple comparisons (Tuckey Test).

Couple Double Comparison

|A � B| = |3.1 � 4.4| = 1.3 > 0.13 => Significantly Different

|A � C| = |3.1 � 2.2| = 0.9 < 0.13 => Not Significantly Different

|B � C| = |4.4 � 2.2| = 2.2 > 0.13 => Significantly Different

The assessment in the multiple comparison test above shows that the data group at the time of manufacture of 20% (A) and 40% (B) showed a significantly different color quality in chewy candy. At the time of manufacture 20% (A) with 60% (C) showed sensory quality that was not significantly different. Then when making 40% (B) with 60% (C) it showed a significantly different sensory quality. It can be concluded that the production time of 20% with a score of 3.1 is the product with the best sensory quality in the chewy candy color aspect because at the percentage of 20% it has an average value.
