Nugget merupakan salah satu produk restructured meat dengan prinsip penyatuan kembali potongan-potongan daging menjadi suatu bentuk utuh yang kompak dengan menambahan bahan pengisi (filler) dan pengikat (binder) yang dapat menentukan kualitas nugget. Pengolahan ikan patin menjadi nugget dengan modifikasi penambahan tepung nangka muda merupakan salah satu upaya diversifikasi hasil perikanan dan pertanian, meningkatkan juiciness, serta dapat meningkatkan kandungan serat nugget ikan patin. Penelitian pendahuluan pembuatan nugget ikan patin dengan proporsi 30% tepung nangka muda menunjukkan terjadinya penurunan tingkat kekenyalan dan nugget yang dihasilkan menjadi kurang kompak. Upaya peningkatan kualitas nugget dapat dilakukan dengan penambahan pati kentang sebagai filler dan binder dalam nugget. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi pati kentang terhadap sifat fisikokimia dan organoleptik nugget ikan patin-tepung nangka muda. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) faktor tunggal yang terdiri dari enam taraf konsentrasi pati kentang, yaitu 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, dan 18% (b/b ikan patin-tepung nangka muda). Pengujian terhadap karaktertistik fisikokimia meliputi uji kadar air, WHC, daya serap minyak, kestabilan emulsi, tekstur, dan warna. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh konsentrasi pati kentang terhadap kadar air, WHC, daya serap minyak, tekstur, dan warna nugget. Peningkatan konsentrasi pati kentang dapat menurunkan kadar air, daya serap minyak, dan cohesiveness (konsentrasi pati kentang 15-18%), serta meningkatkan WHC, hardness, dan cohesiveness (konsentrasi pati kentang 3-12%).

Currently the consumer needs for anti-diabetic products are very large and require answer from healthy food provider answers. Products that are commonly known are tea and stevia. Tea and stevia have advantages as an antioxidant and anti-diabetic. The use of commercially available products is very depended on sensory characteristics which can be accepted by consumers. How much is consumed (food intake) depends on the sensory sensitivity of the consumer. Tea and stevia products are products that contain poly phenols which give a sense of briskness or bitterness. At the time of serving alone, stevia tea and steeping have a certain value, which will be different if brewed simultaneously. The study aims to determine the sensory acceptance threshold value, to steeping a mixture of black tea and dried stevia leaves. The study was conducted using the absolute threshold test, using a proportion of the concentration of stevia black tea between 20:1 to 4:1(w/w) and maximum weight of 2 grams. The mixture was brewed using 200 mL hot water with a temperature of 90 0 Celsius for 5 minutes. The steeped product was then tested by 80 untrained panels to find out the absolute threshold for sweet and bitter taste. From the research it was known that the absolute threshold value for sweetness of stevia-black tea was 0.39% (w/v) and bitterness of stevia -black tea was 0.42% (w/v).
