Abstract

The study was conducted to optimize the use of two major crops, pineapple, and tamarillo. Pineapple (Ananas comosus) and tamarillo (Cyphomandra betacea) are plants that are being actively cultivated by Sarawakians either in highlands or in lowlands. Mixed pineapple and tamarillo juice health drink is premixed with either highland salt, grounded cinnamon and stingless bee honey will enhance their nutritional value. On the other hand, consumer preference will determined the best formulation. The mixture of the health drinks were 1500 mL pineaplle juice + 200 mL tamarillo juice (F1), 1500 mL pineapple juice + 200 mL tamarillo + 20 mL stingless bee honey (F2), 1500 mL pineapple juice + 200 mL tamarillo juice + 20 mL stingless bee honey + 1 g highland salts (F3), 1500 mL pineapple juice + 200 mL tamarillo juice + 25 mL cinnamon (F4) and 1500 mL tamarillo juice + 40 mL cinnamon + 1 g highland salt (F5). Nutrition quality such as Total Soluble Solid (TSS), acidity (pH), antioxidant components, Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) were analysed. Result revealed that adding of tingless bee honey and cinnamon contribute to higher TPC (F3) and TFC (F5). Based on the result formulation F3 showed the highest content of antioxidant activities. The sensory evaluation study of the formulations found that F2 was more favourable followed by F3. Both formulation F2 and F3 showed highest acceptance score and also nutritional score. Therefore, to producing these nutritious beverages not only nutritional quality should be taken into account, but also the level of consumer acceptance in taste.
