Abstract

Citeko village is a potential carrot-producing village in Cisarua, this village has been able to produce seeds of local types that have good quality with the characteristics of red carrot color, not branching, straighter, and more extended. Processing carrots into syrup has a bright prospect because the taste is unique and the appearance of the natural color of carrots is beautiful. The business of processing carrots into fruit juice syrup has long been carried out. However, this business has not developed because the technology used is still simple and marketing is limited. In addition, the carrot and tomato juice syrup produced is not standard with low quality and is not stable continuously. This study aims to find the right formula for carrot and tomato juice syrup with a sugar concentration that suits consumers' desires. The best formula will be analyzed for quality standard parameters of carrot and tomato juice syrup on water content, carbohydrate content, vitamin A content, vitamin E content, and vitamin C content, fiber content, and total dissolved solids. These results are expected to be disseminated to the carrot syrup business group to improve the quality of the products produced to increase the added value of the product.
