Discipline: food sciences

 

Abstract:

The increasing demand for nutritionally enriched and aromatic foods has prompted innovative enhancements of staple foods. This study explored augmenting rice with pandan oil, extracted from Pandanus amaryllifolius leaves, known for its aroma and antioxidants. The study aimed to formulate various rice treatments with pandan oil, determine the most preferred through sensory evaluations, analyze the nutritional composition, and assess the economic viability. An experimental design was used, with rice treatments prepared using different concentrations of extracted pandan oil. Sensory evaluations were conducted by 30 students and 10 food experts using a 9-point Hedonic Scale. Proximate analysis measured nutritional content, while cost and return analyses assessed financial viability. The preferred treatment, T4, infused rice with pandan oil extracted via carrier oil, received high ratings in all sensory attributes and showed significant differences from other treatments. Proximate analysis also revealed a balanced nutritional profile, with notable antioxidant properties. The economic analysis indicated the financial viability of the products, particularly the use of carrier oil infused with pandan extract. Also, a process guide was developed for the consistent preparation of pandan-infused rice. In conclusion, pandan-infused rice enhances sensory qualities and nutritional intake, with T4 showing superior performance. The study highlights the market potential and profitability of these products, suggesting promising opportunities for investment and commercialization. Future research should focus on optimizing infusion techniques, expanding sensory evaluations, and assessing the shelf-life and health impacts to fully capitalize on the benefits of pandan-infused rice.
