Apple is a fruit that turn brown quickly after being cut. One method to maintain the quality of apples cut is coating the fresh-cut apples with an edible coating. Ediblei coatingi is a thini ilayer that can bei eaten and can keep the iquality ofi the icoated material. Thei study aimed toi determinei the effectiveness of edible coating aloe vera (Aloe vera chinensis L.) in inhibit enzymatic browning reaction. The designii wasi usiing icompletely irandomized idesign. The first factor was the citrus species (Citrus aurantifolia, Citrus hystrix DC, Citrus amblycarpa) iand the secondi factori was thei istorage itime (0, 3, 6 day). Edible coating applied to fresh-cut apples and tested for moisture content, total dissolved solids, weight loss, color, overall appearance, vitamin C and total plate count. Thei resultsi ishowed that aloe vera edible coating with citrus extract was not effective in inhibiting the enzymatic reaction of sliced apples. The type of citrus and storage time was affect the effectiveness of aloe vera edible coating. Citrus amblycarpa extract has a lower water content reduction effect with a water content of 54.51% on the 6th day of storage time and has an effect on the total plate count, that Citrus amblycarpa extract has decreased total plate count in day 6th. Citrus aurantifolia extract gives the effect of maintaining brightness compared to other types of citrus, with a brightness value of 58,290 on the 6th day. The type of citrus has no effect on weight loss, total dissolved solids, overall appearance. The length of storage has an effect on the effectiveness of aloe vera edible coating, the longer it is stored, the apples cut will decrease in quality.

Sticks are delicious, crunchy, savory, long, thin, and brownish yellow snacks with various flavors.  The main ingredients of this product consist of wheat flour, , eggs, garlic, pepper, and salt.  Celery leaves were chosen because they are easy to obtain and to optimize local ingredients. Mung bean (Phaseolus radiates) itself is a vegetable food that is high in protein and fiber where the protein contained is 20-25%. This study aims to determine the effect of sticks mung bean flour and the addition of celery.  The design used was a 2 factor factorial completely randomized design (CRD).  Factor 1 is the ratio of wheat flour : mung bean flour  (75:25, 50:50, 25:75) and factor 2 is the concentration of celery porridge (10%, 20%, 30% in 30 ml of water).  The best results of chemical analysis based on the highest protein content were the ratio of wheat flour : mung bean flour 25:75 with concentration of celery porridge 20% with 2.22% water content, 1.74% ash content, 23.58% fat content, 17.75% protein content, 8.28% crude fiber and 46.41 for carbohydrates by difference, color sensory test value 3.73 (greenish brown), crunchy texture 3.40 (crispy), celery taste 3.60 (taste celery flavor) mung bean taste 2.67 (a bit of green bean flavor), celery aroma 3, 33 (smelling of celery), and 3.27 (preferred) for overall liking. The most preferred formulation of celery sticks by consumers is the comparison of wheat flour : mung bean flour 75:25 with the addition of 10% celery porridge concentration with a value of 3.47 (preferred). Sticks made from green beans and celery can be an alternative food that is high in protein and fiber.

Kombucha tea is a traditional beverages product manufactured from fermented tea and sugar solutions. Using Acetobacter xylinum sa starter. Kombucha tea has a refreshing sour taste, but the distinctives aroma make kombucha tea less attractives to consumers. Red roses (Rosa damascene) are a source of anthocyanin pigments that have not been widely used.  In addition, to increase the economic value of roses.  Based on research that has been done, red roses contain antioxidants in the form of purplish red anthocyanins.  The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the type of sugar and the concentration of rose extract on the characteristics of rose kombucha produced.  This study used Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The factors used were the concentration of rose tea (1g/250ml, 2g/250ml, 3g/250ml) and variations in the type of sugar (palm, sand, fine).  The best chemical and organoleptic analysis based on the highest antioxidant activity was the addition of palm sugar and the concentration of the addition of rose tea 1g/250ml with a total phenolic of 10.17mg GAE/L, total dissolved solids (TPT) 11.10%, acidity (pH) 3.86, antioxidant activity 48.28%, vitamin C 11.41%, 13.63% for total sugar, sour taste score 3.06, rose flavor 2.15 and 1.10 for overall preference the addition of palm sugar and the concentration of the addition of rose tea 1g/250ml. Kombucha made from rose extract can be an alternative functional food.
