Daftar Isi:
- Constipation is one of health problems which is related to elderly people. In order to improve the quality of life of this society so creating functional foods are needed, especially food that can be source of laxative components in papaya include dietary fiber, alcohol sugars and certain oligosaccharide such as fructan. The research's purposal was to determine the kind of laxative components and the changes of the components during maturity periode. Papaya slurry was dried by freeze drier and to be analyzed for moisture,protein, fat, starch, reduction sugar and ash content, carbohydrate by difference. The most interesting result in this study of changes during maturity periode is total dietary fiber (TDF) content increasing, both of the soluble fiber (from 3.6% db to 10.12% db) and the insoluble fiber (from 3.96% db to 12.91 % db). This increasing of TDF content can be caused by polimerization of sugar compounds. The possibility of polimerization of sugar compounds was supported by decreasing of reduction sugars (from 56.18 % db to 46.42 % db). The pattern of laxative component's changes during maturity can be used to determine the optimal time of harvesting.
