Antioxidant activity and dietary fiber of colorful meses made from modified cassava flour, moringa leaves flour, yellow pumpkin flour and carrot flour

Abstract

Meses is a chocolate granule that is widely used as a garnish in cake, ice cream, and bread. Meses have many colors. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Moringa leaves flour, yellow pumpkin flour, carrot flour, and mocaf flour formulation with the 20%: 80%,30%:70%,40:60%,50%:50%,60%: 40%, and 80%: 20% ratio on the antioxidant activity and dietary fiber of the colorful meses. Based on the data analysis conducted, it was found that the concentration of Moringa leaves flour, yellow pumpkin flour, and carrot flour of Mocaf had a significantly different effect (p<0,05) on the antioxidant activity and dietary fiber of colorful meses. The lower concentration of mocaf flour, the antioxidant activity of the meses increased. In addition, the lower the concentration of mocaf flour, the dietary fiber from colorful meses is also getting higher. The greatest antioxidant activity and dietary fiber were 80% (Moringa leaves flour, yellow pumpkin flour, and carrot flour) and 20% mocaf flour with 59,30 % antioxidant activity and 3,06 % dietary fiber.
