Abstract

Sugar palm plants have long been cultivated by the Indonesian people. The main product of palm sugar current is sap that is the result of tapping from male flowers and is processed into food and drinks such as palm sugar / brown sugar, vinegar, soft drinks and alcohol. Research conducted is to make sugar as a nutritious food source. The study was conducted by analyzing the levels of nutrients in the arena fruit or the sugar palm fruit in the form of vitamin C, starch, fiber, levels of Ca, and Fe. Analysis is done in the laboratory. The results showed that vitamin C levels increased with more ripe fruit, as well as Fe levels, while maturity caused a decrease in starch, Ca and fiber levels. Drinks and foods produced apart from containing nutrients, are also effected by fruit maturity. Young fruit is better for drinks, so that with medium maturity and old fruit is better for jam.
