- This study focused on developing fruit bars using roselle and fig in various proportions, examining their nutrient quality, antioxidant properties, and storage safety over 90 days.
- Findings showed that while moisture content gradually increased over time, nutritional elements like ash, fat, fiber, and protein remained stable, maintaining acceptable sensory quality throughout storage.
- Microbial analysis confirmed the fruit bars were safe to eat, and the overall results suggest that the roselle-fig fruit bars are a nutritious option with good physicochemical and antioxidant characteristics.
