FORMULA BOBA BERBASIS Chlorella sp.

Abstract

This invention discloses a boba formula based on dried biomass of Chlorella sp. in powder form. The boba formula according to this invention consists of dried biomass of Chlorella sp., starch or tapioca starch, water, sugar, liquid milk, and a flavorless gelling agent. The dried biomass of Chlorella sp. functions to provide a natural green color and add nutritional components to the product, while the starch or tapioca starch and the flavorless gelling agent function to form the structure, elasticity, compactness, and stability of the boba texture. The manufacturing process is carried out through the stages of mixing dry ingredients, adding liquid ingredients, forming a homogeneous dough, molding the dough into balls, cooking until starch gelatinization occurs and the gel structure forms, cooling, and packaging the product. The resulting boba product has a round and stable shape, a distinctive green color derived from the Chlorella sp. biomass, and a chewy, compact texture, and is suitable as a food product.
