Nutraceuticals are food or herbal supplement products that can provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of diseases derived from natural ingredients. Gummy candies are a preparation of sweet products that are soft like jelly. The texture of jelly candy is influenced by the gel-forming material or hydrocolloid used. One of the plants that contains high antioxidants is starfruit. Starfruit is used as an active substance in gummy candies. This study aims to determine the characteristics of gummy candies based on natural gelling agents used from green grass jelly leaf extract (Cyclea barbata Miers.). Gummy candies preparations were made with variations in concentration, namely 10% (F1), 20% (F2), 30% (F3), and 40% (F4). Gummy candies preparations were subjected to evaluation tests including organoleptic, pH, water content, weight uniformity, elasticity, and hedonic tests based on shape, color, taste, and texture. Evaluation of the organoleptic test results was red, had an Ambon banana flavor, a distinctive aroma, and a very chewy texture. pH test (5.13-5.20), Water content test (66%-72%), Weight uniformity test less (1.093-1.269), Elasticity test (1.06-1.76). Based on the results of the hedonic test, it is known that formulation 3 with a green grass jelly leaf extract content of 30% is the most optimal formulation because it is preferred by respondents and is well accepted, in terms of shape, color, taste, and texture. The best formulation in this study is formula 3.

Penelitian ini menghasilkan gummy candies dengan karakteristik fisik yang meliputi warna merah, rasa manis, aroma pisang ambon, dan tekstur kenyal.Nilai pH sediaan berkisar antara 5,13-5,20, kadar air 66%-72%, keseragaman bobot kurang dari standar, dan elastisitas 1,06%-1,76%.Berdasarkan uji hedonik, formulasi 3 dengan konsentrasi sari daun cincau hijau 30% merupakan formulasi yang paling optimal karena paling disukai responden.

Penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk mengoptimalkan kadar air pada gummy candies dengan memodifikasi rasio gelatin dan pektin dari daun cincau hijau, serta mengeksplorasi penggunaan metode pengeringan yang berbeda untuk mengurangi kadar air tanpa mengurangi kualitas produk. Selain itu, studi stabilitas jangka panjang perlu dilakukan untuk menentukan umur simpan gummy candies dan memastikan kualitasnya tetap terjaga selama penyimpanan. Terakhir, penelitian mengenai efektivitas gummy candies sebagai sumber antioksidan dan potensi manfaat kesehatan lainnya, melalui pengujian in vitro atau in vivo, dapat memberikan nilai tambah pada pengembangan produk ini.
