Abstract

Lontar’s Nectar is a sweetener product resulted from the processing of Lontar tree sap (Borassus flabellifera Lin) in the form of liquid sugar. Lontar’s Nectar is one of the main food sources for people in Nusa Tenggara Timur, East Indonesia. Coffee tourism in Indonesia has potential; the coffee consumption can elaborate history, traditions, products, and culture of a destination. Coffee experiences are a part of daily life; thus, the usage of Lontar’s Nectar as a sugar replacement in coffeebased beverages is studied. This study reveals the descriptive sensory properties of Lontar’s Nectar and its comparison between samples. Lontar’s Nectar shows moderate to strong sensory properties on aroma (4.28), sourness (6.26), texture (8.65), and color (8.74); and shows low sensory properties on unpleasant taste (2.23), salty (3.43), and savory (3.65). In the differentiation test, namely the triangle test, the study found the color differences between Aren sugar and Lontar’s Nectar are not significant. At the same time, texture and its taste are significantly different. Furthermore, in Hedonic Tests, the study found that the highest preferences of the panelist for both sugar sample and coffee-based beverages are Aren Sugar comparing to Lontar’s Nectar, Cane sugar, and Coconut Sugar. The proximate analysis found Lontar Nectar’s Nutrition Value contains 1.08% protein, 1.92% ash, a calorie from fat< 0.02 Kcal/100g, 12% of moisture content, carbohydrate 85%, and the total calorie is 344.32 Kcal/100g. Lontar’s Nectar is potential as coffee-tourism products since it gives the cultural connection. Lontar’s Nectar is not yet widely known in the Indonesian market;
