【 摘 要 】

Previous studies have shown that papaya seed contained flavonoids, tannins, and saponins Those compounds are potential as an inhibitor for pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that plays an important role for lipid absorption into the body. The aims of this study are to produce 'coffee' powder of papaya seeds for drinks; to test the organoleptic properties and the activity as a pancreatic lipase inhibitor. The seed was made into a powder by washing, sun drying, roasting, and then grinding. An organoleptic test was performed at 50 respondents and one trained respondent. Inhibitor activity for pancreatic lipase was measured relative to anti-obesity drugs of Orlistat (Xenical), using titrimetric method. The results showed that every 1.42 grams of papaya seeds powder have an inhibitory activity equivalent to 1 tablet (120 mg) of Orlistat. Most of the respondents like with the texture, color, and flavor of the drinks.
