| Research Abstract |
In order to develop the functional foods acceptable to Japanese dietary life from Indonesian plants, palatability, functionality, and preservability of kluwak, gnemon(melinjo), and gandalia were determined. Among them, gnemon is found to be the most suitable. Then, the antioxidant activity and application to cooking of the leaf, the skin, and the endosperm of gnemon were determined. In conclusion, the use of the endosperm of gnemon and its extract is found to be promising.
