Biochemical Characteristics of the Formulation and Preparation of Telang Flower Kombucha Jelly as an Antioxidant, Food and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Products

One of the functional food preparations which is soft formulated and made from hydrocolloid ingredients which include agar, gum, carrageenan, pectin and gelatin is jelly candy. In the formulation and preparation of jelly candy, which aims to increase its functional value, in this research, bioactive compounds are added which function to improve the health aspects of consuming it. In this research, jelly candy is made from butterfly pea flower kombucha because it contains organic acid compounds, polyphenols, vitamins, amino acids, so it is good for body health. Kombucha is made from butterfly pea flowers because previous research results have been proven to be antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antifungal, anticholesterol and anticancer.
