Sensory evaluation of blue Ternate (Clitoria ternatea) juice concentrate
Abstract
Blue ternate flowers gain growing attention due to its various health benefits. These are commonly used to produce fresh juices or teas which have relatively low shelf-life. Using descriptive research design, this study aims to develop blue ternate juice concentrate and evaluate its sensory attributes in terms of taste, color/appearance, smell and texture based on a 9-point Hedonic scale. The study revealed that the blue ternate juice concentrate is an extremely acceptable product with a weighted mean of 8.64 for taste, 8.76 for color/appearance, 8.60 for smell, and 8.58 for texture, resulting in an overall weighted mean of 8.65. The researchers suggest that further analyses on its nutritional contents and shelf-life life might be conducted for quality assurance prior to commercialization.
