Abstract
Introduction: Today lifestyle has changes because of the influence of foreign culture such as eating habit which has different from real food into fast food. Fast food is considered unhealthy due to its high content of calories, protein, salt, and preservatives, but low dietary fiber, which may contribute to constipation. The urgency of this research lies in the utilisation of food ingredients with high nutritional potential, such as jackfruit seeds and red dragon fruit, which contain beneficial bioactive components, combined with yoghurt to improve digestive bacteria and promote healthy and prosperous living in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Objective: This study aimed to formulate an optimized effervescent yogurt powder incorporating jackfruit seeds and dragon fruit (Kanaghurt) and to assess the in vivo laxative efficacy of the resulting product.
Methods: The method of this study was experimental, consisted of several stages, including the preparation of jackfruit seed powder, the development of three effervescent powder formulations, followed by physicochemical evaluation and in vivo laxative testing using Wistar rats.
Results: Organoleptic evaluation results showed that all formulations had a pink to pale pink colour, a distinctive yoghurt smell, and a slightly sour sweet taste. The average moisture content in F1, F2, and F3 was 1.20%, 0.94%, and 0.67%, respectively. The flow rate showed that F2 (1.68 seconds) had the best flow properties compared to F1 (7.99 seconds) and F3 (3.55 seconds). The dissolution time of all formulations was very fast, ranging from 45.46 to 50.96 seconds. However, the pH values of the preparations (F1: 8.04; F2: 8.14; F3: 8.29) were above the specified range (pH 6-7).
Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that the three formulations of effervescent kanaghurt preparations meet most of the physical property test requirements except for pH. The strongest laxative effect with the lowest Norit Distance Ratio % value was formulation 2, which was 27.58%. The laxative effect produced was significantly different compared to the positive control.
