Abstract
This research aimed to develop a suitable formula for drinking water mixed with banana blossom and herbs for health. It also studied its chemical quality and acceptability. In order to study the suitable formula for producing drinking water mixed with banana blossom and herbs for health, there were 2 variables studied: banana blossom content varied at 3 levels, 3, 6, and 9%, and herb types varied at 2 types, namely ginger and white fingerroot. The CRD experiment was designed with 6 formulas. The suitable formulas were selected by pH analysis and liking test for appearance characteristics, drinking water clarity, herbal aroma, herbal aroma and flavor, banana blossom aroma and flavor, and overall liking. Sixty consumers were surveyed using a 9-point hedonic scale test. The formula with the pH value that was not significantly different (p > .05) from plain water and had the highest liking score was selected for consumer acceptability testing. The results of pH analysis showed that formula 3 (9% banana blossom content mixed with 1% ginger) had a pH value that was not significantly different (p > .05) from plain water and had the highest liking score in all dimensions. When tested on 100 consumers, the product had an overall liking score of 7.69. 73% of consumers would purchase the banana blossom and ginger water mixed drink. After learning the nutritional information about the banana blossom and ginger water mixed drink, an additional 8% would purchase it.
