of sweetener sucrose and xylitol. Supervised by Sri Rejeki Retna Pertiwi and
Ahmad Syarbaini.
This study aims to obtain selected percentage comparisons of milk by
adding sucrose and xylitol sweeteners based on sensory characteristics. This
research was conducted in 2 stages, namely stage 1 determining the amount of
sucrose (A1 skim milk, UHT milk A2, A3 pure milk, B1 5 gram, B2 7 gram, B3 9
gram), and stage 2 determining the proportion of sucrose and xylitol percentage in
3 types milk (A1 skim milk, UHT milk A2, A3 pure milk, B1 95: 5, B2 90:10, B3
85:15, B4 80:20 B5 75:25). The experimental design used in this study was a 2-
factor complete randomized design. Data analysis was processed by ANOVA. In
stage 1, proximate and hedonic tests are carried out. The selected amount of
sucrose is treatment A2B3 (UHT milk with the addition of 9 grams of sucrose)
based on the highest hedonic value. In stage 2 hedonic test, sensory quality test,
pH test and brix test were carried out. Selected milk with a combination of
sucrose and xylitol sweetener is A2B3 (UHT milk with a ratio of percentage of
sucrose and xylitol 85:15) based on the best test results. The selected product is
then subjected to a proximate test. Selected milk with a combination of sucrose
and xylitol sweetener has 83% moisture content, 3% ash, 4.49% protein, 4.91%
fat and 4.77% carbohydrate.
