This study aimed to evaluate the effect of bee pollen addition on the chemical composition of cow’s milk–based jelly candy. Bee pollen is a natural product rich in proteins, minerals, and bioactive compounds, which may enhance the nutritional value of food products. The research was conducted at the Dairy Technology Laboratory, Department of Animal Product Technology, Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Brawijaya, from June to August 2025. The research method used was a laboratory experiment using Complete Randomized Design (CRD) ANOVA with 4 treatments and 4 replications. If different results were obtaindes between treatments, Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was continued. Four treatments were applied: T0 (control, without bee pollen), T1 (6%), T2 (12%), and T3 (19%). The results demonstrated that bee pollen supplementation had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on the protein content (Kjeldahl method), moisture content (Gravimetri method), ash content (Dry Ashing method), and carbohydrate content (By Different method), but showed no significant effect (P>0.05) on fat content (Soxhlet method). Protein content increased from 16.83% to 19.30%, moisture content increased from 29.56% to 34.30%, while ash content exhibited a fluctuating trend. Conversely, carbohydrate content decreased from 52.90% to 45.19%. Overall, the addition of bee pollen improved the nutritional quality and functional potential of milk-based jelly candy, particularly as a natural source of protein and minerals.

This study investigates about the effect of using different types of honey (coffee honey, randu honey and multiflora honey) on the quality of cow's milk jelly candy. Specifically, the resrarch examines the reducing sugar (%), water activity (Aw) and organoleptic (aroma, taste and color). The research method used a laboratory experiment with Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and four replications. The treatments included P0 = using sugar 25%, P1 = using coffee honey 25%, P2 = using randu honey 25% and P3 = using multiflora honey 25%. Data analysis was carried out by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). If different results were obtained between treatments. Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was continued. The results of the study showed that the use of different types of honey (coffee honey, randu honey and multiflora honey) gave a very significant effect (P <0.01) on the organoleptic taste and color, and reducing sugar (%) but did not give any effect on the organoleptic aroma and water activity (Aw).Rreducing sugar is 17.44-3.49%; water activity (Aw) is 0.87-0.84; organoleptic aroma 3.42-3.83, taste 4.25-3.6, color 4.50-3.33.

Green grass jelly (Cyclea barbata) leaves are one of the herbal plants found in Indonesia and have various potential health benefits. This plant is known to contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids that act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and help regulate blood sugar levels in the body. The utilization of green grass jelly leaves is not only as a refreshing traditional drink ingredient, but also as a source of natural medicine that is environmentally friendly and easily accessible to the community.This activity aims to increase awareness and knowledge of students and teachers about the benefits of green grass jelly leaves, as well as teach simple but effective processing techniques to produce value-added processed products.The research method used descriptive qualitative method.The results of this activity showed an increase in participants' understanding and skills in processing green grass jelly leaves into products that are suitable for consumption, as well as fostering interest in utilizing herbal plants as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Kersen and carrots are local fruits and vegetables that often found in Indonesia. Kersen contain antioxidant activity, and carrots contain vitamin A, that beneficial for body. The purpose of this study to determine effect of kersen puree substitution and addition of carrots on the acceptability of jelly candy. This study used a pure experimental method with a 3x2 factorial design, namely 3 levels of kersen puree (40%, 50%, and 60%) and 2 levels of carrots (25% and 50%). The panelists is school-age children at MI Tarbiyatush Shibyan, totaling 45 students. The hedonic test data were analyzed using two-way anova with Duncan's further test to determine the real difference. Interaction of kersen puree substitution and carrot addition affected the color, but not affect the aroma, taste, and elasticity of jelly candy. Jelly candy with F3G2 formula with 60% kersen puree substitution and 50% carrot addition was most preferred. In 100 grams of F3G2 formula, jelly candy contains 318 kcal energy, 62.10% glucose, 3.05% fiber, 88.60 mg beta-carotene, and 78.60% antioxidant activity. Based on these results, jelly candy with kersen puree substitution and carrot addition is beneficial for school-age children because contains high antioxidants and vitamin A.
