The Influence of Kecombrang Flower (Nicolaia speciosa, Horan) Extract on Physicochemical Properties of Hard Candy

Abstract

Hard candy is very popular.To make it a functional food, kecombrang flower extract can be added. Kecombrang flower contains components that are beneficial to health. The purpose of this research was to know the effect of kecombrang flower extract on physicochemical properties of hard candy.The design of the research was a completely randomized design (CRD) that consists of 5 treatments and 3 replications. Data were analyzed statistically by using ANOVA and with Duncan’s new multiple range test (DNMRT) at a 5% significance level. The treatment in this research was adding kecombrang flower extract at 0%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% of the total sucrose and glucose. The results showed that the addition of kecombrang flower extract had a significant effect on water content, pH, antioxidant activity, hardness, reducing sugar, and sucrose; no significant effect was seen for ash content.
