| Summary, etc. |
The purpose of this study was to formulate a tablet sweetener from Yacon (Smallanthus<br/>sonchifolius) as a healthier and more environmentally friendly sugar replacer. Because of<br/>the prebiotic nature, yacon, a root vegetable that is high in fructooligosaccharides (FOS),<br/>is advantageous to the gastrointestinal system. Yacon is not highly utilized in the food<br/>industry despite its nutritious content. The objective of the study was to transform Yacon<br/>into a tablet sweetener that does not lose its health benefits and is easy to carry and<br/>simple to use. For texture, sweetness, and shelf-life enhancement, the juice was extracted,<br/>boiled, freeze-dried, and blended with ingredients such as silicon dioxide, erythritol, and<br/>maltodextrin.The final product's physical and chemical analysis showed it contained<br/>93.31 g/100g carbohydrates, 4.89 g/100g fat, 1.92 g/100g protein, 3.72 g/100g ash,<br/>390.37 kcal/100g energy, and virtually no moisture (LOD = 0.01 g/100g), demonstrating<br/>that it is both nutritious and stable. Microbiological testing showed a total plate count of<br/><250 CFU/g and undetectable levels (<10 CFU/g) of coliforms, E. coli, yeast and mold,<br/>and S. aureus, confirming product safety. A sensory evaluation using a 9-point hedonic<br/>scale with 50 respondents indicated positive acceptance in taste, texture, and overall<br/>appeal. The results demonstrated that the Yacon tablet sweetener was both functional and<br/>microbiologically safe, with potential as a viable natural sugar substitute. This innovation<br/>met the growing demand for healthier sweeteners while promoting sustainable agriculture<br/>and local crop utilization, highlighting Yacon’s promise in future food product<br/>development. |
