PERTUMBUHAN DAN UJI ORGANOLEPTIK TANAMAN SAWI HIJAU (Brassica juncea L.) HASIL BIOFORTIFIKASI DENGAN KALSIUM (Ca) YANG DIBUDIDAYAKAN SECARA HIDROPONIK RAKIT APUNG (WATER CULTURE)
The low calcium intake of the Indonesian people is one of the causes of the high risk of osteoporosis. Therefore, support is needed to meet the body's calcium needs. This study aims to determine the growth and organoleptic test of mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) as a result of biofortification with calcium (Ca) cultivated by hydroponic floating raft (water culture). This study used a descriptive test with 2 treatments and 4 replications, consisting of 0 ppm (P0) treatment and 300 ppm (P1) calcium treatment of green mustard plants. The parameters observed included plant height, number of leaves, level of greenness, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight, moisture content, root crown ratio, calcium content, food fiber and organoleptic tests with components of assessment of color, taste, preference, and texture. The research treatment did not affect plant growth, seen from the height of the mustard plant with 300 ppm calcium treatment, only a slight decrease from the 0 ppm mustard plant, but it affected plant production seen from the wet weight and dry weight of 0 ppm mustard plants which have a higher weight than the 300 ppm. Giving a calcium concentration of 300 ppm increased the number of leaves, greenness of the leaves, increased calcium content and dietary fiber in mustard greens. The assessment of the organoleptic test results showed that mustard greens with 300 ppm calcium treatment were dark green in color, had a sweet taste, had a crunchy texture, and were preferred by panelists. So the green mustard plants that get the addition of 300 ppm of calcium can be accepted and liked by the public to meet their daily calcium needs.
