Abstract

This paper was not presented at the conference.

The need for functional food, especially sources of fiber and antioxidants, is increasing in line with public health awareness. Research studies, however, show that fibre intake for various age groups in Indonesia is still low. The innovation of the functional drink honey pineapple extract with Eucheuma cottonii and the red dragon popping boba is expected to be an alternative to help meet the fiber needs of Indonesian. The research aims to analyze sensory, total phenol content, potential nutritional content, quality evaluation and estimate the shelf life of the drink. The method used is quantitative descriptive test, folin-ciocalteau method, comparison of nutritional content with the Nutritional Adequacy Value, and microbiological tests. The results showed that the panellists determined six sensory attributes that characterized the drink. The total phenolic content is 79.82 mg GAE/g, and the fibre content is high (contributing 36% of the average fibre requirement for men and women aged 16-64 years). The number of microbial drinks does not exceed the provisions and has a short shelf life (26.03 hours). The drink can be accepted and developed into an alternative drink that has the potential to be a source of fiber and antioxidants, is sustainable, and has competitive sales value
