Abstract

Pletok beer is a traditional Indonesian drink made from ginger, lemongrass, sappan
wood and other spices with high antioxidant content. Pletok beer is currently less popular to
young consumers. The modification of the Pletok beer product in the form of panna cotta is
expected to increase the value of Pletok beer among consumers. This study aimed to find
Pletok Beer Panna Cotta formulation preferred by the consumers. The study used a
completely randomized design with three treatments. Formula 1, 2, and 3 are panna cotta
products with main additives, namely whipping cream, plain milk, and heavy cream,
respectively. Hedonic test was performed to 30 untrained panelists using a 5-scale Likert
questionnaire with indicators assessing appearance, color, taste, aroma, and texture. The test
results showed that formula with added ingredients of plain milk have better preference scores
in color and appearance, while formulas with added ingredients of heavy cream have better
preference scores in taste and texture. Overall, the formulation of Beer Pletok Panna Cotta
favored by the panelists were products with heavy cream added or Formula 3.
