This type of research is an experiment. The independent variable was the addition of red dragon fruit puree (40g, 50g and 60g). Data collection used the observation method through organoleptic tests obtained from 10 trained panelists with instruments in the form of observation sheets in the form of a check list. Data analysis used single analysis of variance (anava) and Duncan's further test with SPSS 17.0. The best product based on organoleptic tests in chemical tests and selling prices using conventional methods.

This research is about nastar cakes which have the main raw material as wheat flour substituted with cassava flour to reduce the use of wheat flour and the addition of Moringa leaf powder to increase the nutritional content. The purpose of this study is determine 1) the sensory quality of nastar cake with cassava flour substitution and the addition of Moringa leaf powder 2) nutritional and non-nutritional content based on laboratory tests including protein, carbohydrates, fat, water, ash, vitamin C and antioxidants 3) material costs pineapple cake. This type of research is an experiment. Observation data collection techniques by means of sensory quality tests were carried out by 30 panelists. The independent variables of the research were cassava flour substitution (75% and 100%) and the addition of Moringa leaf powder (3g, 5g and 7g). The dependent variable of the research is sensory quality including shape, color, texture, aroma, and taste. The control variables in this study include the types of materials, equipment and processing techniques. Data analysis used two way anova and Duncan. The results showed 1) there was an effect on the sensory quality of making nastar cakes with substitution of cassava flour and the addition of Moringa leaf powder including color, texture, aroma and taste. 2) there is no effect on the sensory quality of the nastar cake shape because it is influenced by the mold. 3) product that are said to be good may contain nutrition equal to or greater according to SNI 2011 including ash content 1.12%, moisture content 4.93%, protein 6.08%, fat 3.81%, carbohydrates 53.10%, vitamin C 16.55 mg/100g and antioxidants 123.60 mg/100g. 4) the best product has a material cost price of IDR 32,806.

Water, one of the most important elements of the body and one of the macro substances, has the similar role as carbohydrates, fats and proteins for us humans. Humans cannot survive in few days without drinking. Toxins in human body can be cleansed by consuming water regularly. Infused water alternately becomes the another option to encourage people to drink much water. Furthermore, infused water can help out many people who do not have time or do not like eating fruits. However, many people do not drink water because of their personal reason although infused water might become the second opinion after pure water, and can increase an appetite because of the fruit color. Based on the reason above, the research purposes were appointed to examine the effect of the added date palm and soaking time towards the levels of anti-oxidant in apple-cinnamon infused water. The study was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) factorial with 2 factors. In the first factor, the research media was added with dates (0, 10, and 20 grams), and the second factor, the media was measured from its soaking time (4, 8, and 12 hours). The research was initiated by creating of apple-cinnamon infused water with the aadditional various dates. Then, conducting various analyses like chemical analysis, total sugar content analysis, vitamin C, DPPH and FRAP antioxidant activity, total phenol, total solids, and pH. The optimum result was emerged when the additional 10 gram of dates and 4 hours of immersion time were combined. The characteristics of infused water are total sugar 24.37%, vitamin C 11.39 mg / 100 ml, 34.82% RSA DPPH, FRAP value 5.15%, total phenol 18.51 mg gallic acid / 100 ml, total solids 4.75oBrix, and the degree of acidity (pH) 5.65.
