Nutritional problems during the growth phase of adolescent are mostly caused by consumption patterns. The most commonly used eating patterns during adolescent are foods that are high in calories, fat, sugar and salt. The habits of an unhealthy eating pattern can affect nutritional status. The foods most consumed by adolescent are often junk food and caffeinated beverages. All kinds of food and drinks are easily found around campuses surrounded by student. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between junk food consumption and caffeinated beverages to the nutritional status of students of the Faculty of Technology and Food Industry at Slamet Riyadi University, Surakarta. The respondents involved were students aged 18-24 years. Data was collected using a questionnaire and interview to the student. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square test. The results showed that factor affecting the nutritional status of student was mother’s education (p=0,000) and father’s education (p=0.000). Factors that do not affect nutritional status were energy intake (p=0.545), protein (p=0.085), fat (p=0.204) and carbohydrate (p=0.112), the amount of pocket money (p=0.310), the consumption level of junk food (p=0.671) and caffeinated drinks (p=0.535). The results showed that there was no significant relationship between the consumption patterns of junk food and caffeinated drinks on the nutritional status of students of the Faculty of Food Technology and Industry at Slamet Riyadi University, Surakarta. Permasalahan gizi yang terjadi saat pertumbuhan fase remaja lebih banyak disebabkan karena pola konsumsi.  Pola makan yang sering diterapkan pada masa remaja adalah makanan tinggi kalori, lemak, gula, dan garam. Pola makan yang tidak sehat dapat mempengaruhi status gizi seseorang. Makanan yang paling banyak dikonsumsi oleh kalangan remaja masuk dalam kategori junk food dan juga minuman berkafein. Makanan dan minuman kategori ini mudah ditemukan di sekitar kampus yang dikelilingi mahasiswa. Tujuan pada penelitian ini ialah menentukan hubungan pola konsumsi junk food dan minuman berkafein terhadap status gizi mahasiswa Fakultas Teknologi dan Industri Pangan di Universitas Slamet Riyadi, Surakarta. Responden yang terlibat ialah mahasiswa berusia 18-24 tahun. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner dan wawancara kepada mahasiswa. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang mempengaruhi status gizi mahasiswa adalah pendidikan ibu (p=0.000) dan pendidikan ayah (p=0.000). faktor yang tidak mempengaruhi status gizi ialah asupan energi (p=0.545), protein (p=0.085), lemak (p=0.204) and karbohidrat (p=0.112), jumlah uang saku (p=0.310), tingkat konsumsi junk food (p=0.671) dan minuman berkafein (p=0.535). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan signifikan antara pola konsumsi junk food dan minuman berkafein terhadap status gizi mahasiswa Fakultas Teknologi dan Industri Pangan Universitas Slamet Riyadi, Surakarta.

Bread is a food product made from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt processed by mixing them into one dough then fermented and baked in the oven until cooked. Roti has several types, one of which is burger buns. Burger patties are white bread that is round or oval, made from high protein wheat flour, yeast, sugar, bread improver, salt, butter, milk powder, water, and usually with the addition of sesame seeds. The purpose of this study was to determine the formulation of burger patties high in dietary fiber and preferred by consumers. This study used a two-factor Complete Randomized Design (RAL), with a ratio of wheat flour and mocaf 70:30, 60:40, 50:50 with the addition of the percentage of beet tubers 30,40,50. The results of burger buns with high-fiber formulations were obtained from the ratio of wheat flour and mocaf flour at 50%:50% with a percentage of beet puree at 50%, this treatment has a fiber content of 11.47%, the water content of 26.10%, ash content 1.58%, fat content 4.33%, protein content 6.53%, carbohydrate content 61.45%, calories 310.89%, specific development volume 4.42%. Of flavor 3,38, color sensory test 3.73, chewiness 3.81, tenderness 3.11. Burger buns with raw materials of mocaf flour and the addition of beet puree as a source of fiber can be one of the practical foods that have good nutritional value for health.

Nata de corn is nata made from corn. Corn contains the element carbon which can fulfill the needs of Acetobacter xylinum in the formation of nata. This study used corn extract to replace coconut water and used natural nitrogen sources from mung bean sprout extract, soybean sprout extract and cowpea sprout extract. The aimed study to determine characteristics of nata  which the thickest and highest fiber. This study used factorial RAL, with 2 factors, namely factor 1 was the percentage of corn extract (10%; 20% and 30%) and factor 2 was the variation of nitrogen sources (mung bean sprout extract, soybean sprout extract and cowpea sprout extract). The purpose of this study was to determine the physicochemical characteristics of Nata de corn and determine the best formulation for Nata de corn. The results of the best treatment formulation in the manufacture of Nata de corn were 30% corn seed extract formulation with 7.5 ml soybean sprout extract, 2.05% crude fiber chemical characteristic test, 0.15% total sugar and 0.97% water content. The resulting nata de corn has organoleptic characteristics of a yellowish-white color with a value of 1.95; less elastic with an elasticity value of 2.06 and slightly springy with a value of 2.72. The results of physical observations with a thickness of 0.72 cm, a weight of 599.8 grams and a volume of 4 ml of fermented residual liquid. Nata de corn has the potential to be a source of food fiber.

Kombucha is one of the processed products of fermented sugar and tea with a starter mixture ofkombucha culture called SCOBY (Symbiotic Cultures of Bacteria and Yeast). Kombuchafermentation is carried out using yeast and bacteria microorganisms. Pomegranate or often calledpomegranate is a fruit that has quite high antioxidants. The purpose of this study was to determinethe characteristics of pomegranate juice kombucha with variations in concentration andfermentation time which have high antioxidant activity. This study used a factorial randomizeddesign with two factors and two repetitions. The factors used were variations in the percentage ofpomegranate juice (30%, 40%, and 50%) and fermentation time (7 days, 9 days, and 11 days). Thebest chemical and organoleptic analysis based on the highest antioxidant activity was 50%pomegranate juice treatment and 9 days of fermentation time with 71,10% antioxidant activity,total phenol 9,04 GAE/L, reducing sugar 2,45%, total acid 1,35%, pH 3,1 , anthocyanin 53.52%,lightness (L*) 44.72 , redness (a*) 5.15, yellowness (b*) 2.57, fruity aroma 2.27, sour taste 2,85, andfor overall preference 3,49 for the treatment of adding 50% pomegranate juice and 9 days offermentation time. Pomegranate extract able to improve activity of antioxidant for kombucha. 

Dry noodles are noodles that are marketed in dry form. This noodle, which is also called egg noodle, has a low water content, only about 13%. Made from eggs and wheat flour, Dried noodles are processed by drying in an oven or drying in the sun to dry before being packaged and marketed. Tempeh has the potential to be used as raw material for noodles because it has a high protein content. Tempe is first processed into flour so that it becomes tempeh flour which will be used for making dry noodles. In addition, local raw materials such as mocaf flour and cow's milk are rich in nutrients such as protein content which can meet the protein needs in the body. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical and organoleptic characteristics of dry noodles from tempeh and mocaf flour with the addition of cow's milk and to determine which noodle formulations produced high protein content. The experimental design was a completely randomized design (CRD) with the first factor being the ratio of tempe flour and mocaf flour (70 : 30, 60 : 40 and 50 : 50) with the addition of cow's milk (50%, 75% and 100%). The results of this study indicate that the dry noodle formulation with the addition of cow's milk is the best based on chemical and organoleptic values is a comparison tempeh flour 50 and mocaf 50 with a percentage of 100% cow's milk. The results obtained were a moisture content of 4.76%, an ash content of 2.63%, a protein content of 21.79%, a carbohydrate content of 70.81%, a fat content of 14.63% and a crude fiber content of 19.14%. Based on the organoleptic value, the ratio of tempe flour is 70 and mocaf 30 with a percentage of 75% cow's milk. The results obtained were 2.80% color, 2.80% aroma, and 2.99% elasticity. This research achieved the desired goal, namely to produce high protein noodles.
