Abstract

ABSTRACT
Development of local product is very important to improve the potency local product. Nutmeg is one of fruit from North Sulawesi.

The aims of this research are to determine the correct concentration of gelatin and glucose syrup, to analyze the chemical components in jelly candy and to analyze the organoleptic test of jelly candy. This research has used RAL method with 2 factors, which A factor is gelatin concentration and B factor is glucose syrup. The result of this research is the 20% of gelatin and 60% of glucose syrup has 19,60% water content, 0,79% ash and 14,22% sucrose reduction which already match with the standards (SNI). The 20% of gelatin and 60% of glucose syrup has a neutral color, delight taste, neutral color and delight texture.
