The 4K Mokaya: Innovative Seri Kaya for Vegetarians

Abstract

Abstract: Moringa, also known as drumstick tree, is a plant well-known for its rich nutritional profile and has been the subject of numerous studies exploring its potential health benefits. This study focuses on the innovation of a new food product, Mokaya, a combination of the names Moringa and Seri Kaya, which has been developed to cater to vegetarian diets using entirely plant-based ingredients. The Moringa plant, often referred to as the miracle tree, is incorporated into the Seri Kaya formulation to create Mokaya, which is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. The main objective of this study is to develop a vegetarian-friendly Seri Kaya that maximizes the nutritional benefits of Moringa. The process involves using Moringa leaves and its fruit as the main ingredients in the production of Mokaya. Other plant-based ingredients are carefully selected to complement Moringa's nutritional profile while ensuring the product meets vegetarian dietary restrictions. The final product undergoes evaluation to assess its acceptability in terms of taste, texture, and overall satisfaction. Furthermore, the innovation of using Moringa as a key ingredient in the making of Seri Kaya not only opens up new culinary possibilities but also provides a functional food product that supports overall health and well-being. This study highlights the potential of incorporating Moringa into various food products to enhance nutrition and promote healthier eating habits among vegetarians.
