| Abstract | Melatonin is a naturally occurring compound found in plants, animals, and microorganism. It plays an important role in maintaining body's circadian rhythm in animals and has antioxidant property. This study was carried out to develop instant powder beverage using germinated red bean, lemon glass, and onion as a sources of melatonin. Proportion of the components used in the beverage was prepared using Mixture Design Method, which generated beverage of 6 formula including germinated red bean (X1 = 30-50%) : lemon grass (X2 = 10-35% ) : onion (X3 = 15-42%). The effect of different proportions of raw materials on the appearance, color, texture and overall acceptability of product was evaluated using 9-Point hedonic scale. The results indicated that the proportion of germinated red bean: lemon grass: onion of 50:40:10 gained the highest score of acceptance. Six beverage powder formulas were also determined for physical properties and chemical compositions. It was found that the beverage powder containing melatonin had suitable physicochemical properties and was high water absorption index (1.11 - 2.44 g / g), water soluble index (19.57 - 20.79%) and solubility (18.73 - 20.83 % residue). The study suggested that the preparation high melatonin beverage powder has potential to produce as a functional food. |
