Black sticky rice tapai is a traditional Indonesian fermented food that has long been consumed by the public for its distinctive taste and high cultural value. However, with the increasing demand for functional foods and natural-based products that can support health, attention for black sticky rice tapai has shifted from being simply a traditional food to an object of scientific study in the nutraceutical field. Black sticky rice, the basic ingredient for tapai, contains important bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, B-complex vitamins, and soluble fiber, which have been shown to play a role in lowering cholesterol levels, inhibiting LDL cholesterol oxidation, and increasing HDL cholesterol levels in the blood. The fermentation process further enhances the biological activity of these compounds, making black sticky rice tapai have a higher therapeutic value than ordinary black sticky rice. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential of black sticky rice tapai as a natural, tradition-based solution for lowering cholesterol levels, while also supporting the development of local foods into modern health products that are safe, effective, and affordable. The study was conducted using a descriptive literature review method of various scientific articles, textbooks, and relevant research results that discuss the nutritional content of black sticky rice, the benefits of fermentation, and the effect of active components on lipid metabolism. The study results show that regular consumption of black glutinous rice tapai has the potential to lower total and LDL cholesterol levels and increase HDL through a combination of antioxidant effects, cholesterol binding by fiber, and increased fat excretion. In addition, the potential of black glutinous rice tapai as a nutraceutical is also relevant in supporting the preservation of local-based culture and food independence.

Bedda Lotong is a traditional scrub from the Bugis tribe of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The name ‘Bedda Lotong’ literally means ‘black powder’ in Bugis language, referring to the distinctive black colour of this scrub which comes from its main ingredient, white glutinous rice that is roasted until burnt.

Rice is the main product obtained from grain produced by the rice plant (Oryza sativa) whose entire layer has been peeled off and the bran layer has been separated in the form of head rice, whole rice grains, broken rice, and groats. There are several types of pigmented rice such as brown rice, black rice and black glutinous rice. These kinds of rice have not been utilized optimally so that a processing process is needed to increase the economic value of the colored rice. One of the processing is made as flour so that it is durable and easy to distribute and flour can be used as a food processing material that is practical, easy and durable. One of the processed rice is rice flour. Colored rice flour is the result of processing brown rice, black rice and black glutinous rice by milling or flouring. This study aims to determine the optimal temperature in the manufacture of colored rice flour in order to obtain colored rice flour which has high antioxidant activity and high anthocyanins. The result of flouring is in the form of very fine grains. Flour has a low water content so it is more durable and long lasting. In order to reduce the moisture content, drying is carried out. The study used a completely randomized design (RAL) consisting of 2 factors. The first factor was the type of colored rice, while the second factor was the drying temperature of rice flour. The optimal treatment results were a combination of black glutinous rice flour treatment and a drying temperature of 45°C for 60 minutes, the following results were obtained: water content 7.44%, antioxidant activity by DPPH method 69.89%, antioxidant activity by FRAP method 81.35%, yield 25.29%, total phenol 175.85 mg/kg, and anthocyanin levels 327.10 ppm. Changes in temperature during the drying process of colored rice will affect the characteristics of the colored rice.

Rice in the world consists of several types, including white rice, brown rice, black rice, and brown rice. Rice is also grouped into two groups, namely glutinous rice containing high amylopectin (low amylose) and non-glutinous rice, namely rice with low amylopectin content (high amylose). Amylose content determines the quality of taste, fluffiness and other physical properties. Rice that has a high amylose content has the properties of soft/hard rice, while rice that has a low amylose content has the character of a fluffier rice. This research was conducted with the aim to determine the amylose content found in black rice, especially local West Java. The research was conducted in October 2018 at the BB-PADI Sukamandi Subang laboratory. The tools used are beakers, measuring flasks, funnels, analytical scales, spray bottles, measuring pipettes, and a spectrophotometer. The materials used were Bandung black rice, Subang black rice, Bogor black rice, and Indramayu black rice, amylose standard solution, methylene blue indicator, 0.02 N HCl, distilled water, 95% ethanol solution, NaOH solution, iodine solution, and others. Determination of amylose content using the spectrophotometric method (AOAC, 1999), was carried out in two stages, namely: the Standard Curve Preparation Stage and the Sample Determination Stage. From the research results, the following data were obtained: the amylose content of black rice from Subang was 12.72%w/b, the amylose content of black rice from Bandung was 17.21%w/b, the amylose content of black rice from Bogor was 13.67%w /w and the amylose content of black rice from Indramayu was 21.18% w/w. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that black rice from three regions in West Java, namely Bandung, Subang and Bogor, is included in the low amylose content category (10-20%) and black rice from Indramayu is included in the medium amylose content group (20-25%). The lowest amylose content was owned by black rice from Subang with a value of 12.72% and the highest amylose content was owned by black rice from Indramayu with a value of 21.18% w/w.

Tape is a traditional fermented food whose benefits can be increased by adding probiotic cells such as Saccharomyces boulardii and Lactobacillus plantarum Dad-13. Tape tends to be easily damaged, so to maintain the viability of probiotics and as a food diversification, tape can be substituted for ice cream dough. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of substitution and the proportion of substitution of glutinous rice and cassava tape in the manufacture of ice cream on the characteristics and preference level of probiotic ice cream. This research method was carried out using a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern with two factors, the first factor was the type of tape, and the second factor was the proportion of substitution. The type of tape used are white cassava tape, yellow cassava tape, white glutinous rice tape, and black glutinous rice tape with substitution proportions of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. Analysis of probiotic sticky rice tape and cassava ice cream included water content, total solids, melting time, antioxidant activity, total lactic acid bacteria, total yeast, and preference level. The data obtained will be calculated using the Anova statistikal method. If there is a significant difference between treatments, it is carried out with Duncan's Multiple Range Test significant difference test at a confidence level of α= 5%. The results showed that glutinous rice and cassava tape types and their substitution proportions affected the water content, total solids, melting time, antioxidant activity, total lactic acid bacteria, total yeast, and preference level. Based on the preference level and antioxidant activity, the best ice cream was produced with the substitution of 20% white cassava tape or 20% yellow cassava tape, which had an antioxidant activity of 32.41% and 33.17% RSA and total lactic acid bacteria of 1.79 x 108 and 1.67 x 108 CFU/g, respectively.
