Background: Data Riskesdas 2013 shows that the average amount portion of vegetable consumption in people aged 10 years or older is only 0.5 portions while the vegetable consumption category is said to be "sufficient" is at least 5 portions per day for 7 days a week. Banana blossom is a vegetable and commonly found in Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Banana blossom processing as a source of vegetables rich in antioxidant compounds and chicken meat as a source of animal protein, needs to be done by processing into shredded banana blossom-chicken meat.Objectives: To determine the acceptability and antioxidant activity level of shredded banana blossom-chicken meat.Methods: This research is true experimental. Shredded banana blossom-chicken meat, made using 3 treatment, banana blossom 75%:chicken meat 25% (F1), banana blossom 50%: chicken meat 50% (F2), and banana blossom 25%:chicken meat 75% (F3). Furthermore, the acceptance of taste, colour, aroma, texture, overall, and antioxidant activity level of shredded banana blossom-chicken meat. Results: There was a significant difference in the acceptance of the colours of shredded F1, F2 and F3 (p = 0,00), while aroma, taste, texture and overall of the shredded F1, F2 and F3 were not significant (p> 0.05). Shredded F3 (banana blossom 25%: chicken meat 75%) is most preferred based on the parameters of colour, aroma, taste, texture and overall, and has the highest antioxidant activity value are 53.74%.Conclusions: Shredded banana blossom-chicken meat has a good acceptability and has a high antioxidant activity level.[AN1]

Singkong merupakan sumber karbohidrat dan serat. Konsumsi serat merupakan salah satu upaya mencegah salah satu masalah gizi di Indonesia seperti obesitas. Oleh karena itu, penggunaan Mocaf sebagai salah satu sumber serat yang diharapkan dapat membuat produk baru berupa ayam goreng crispy yang kaya akan kandungan serat dan dapat membantu mengurangi resiko terjadinya obesitas.Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 2 formulasi dan 3 pengulangan. Formulasi pertama penggunaan Mocaf yaitu 50% dan tepung terigu 50%. Formulasi kedua yaitu 75% dan tepung terigu 25%. Analisis statistik dengan uji Mann-Whitney U dengan panelis 30 orang. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat kesukaan panelis dan hasil analisis statistik untuk pengaruh formulasi terhadap tingkat kesukaan rasa, aroma, warna, dan tekstur ayam goreng crispy menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang nyata. Analisis kadar serat menggunakan sampel formula 2 mempunyai nilai serat sebesar 12,67% dalam 4 gram sampel. Upaya diversifikasi pangan dengan ayam goreng crispy dengan penggunaan Mocaf bisa dijadikan alternatif pangan yang sehat bagi masyarakat, selain itu produk ini mempunyai kandungan serat.

Fish contains nutrients and functional compounds that are good for human health. Nutritional and chemical compounds that act as functional foods include protein, vitamin E, fats and minerals, which have good effects on health, such as preventing cardiovascular disease. Pempek is a traditional food from South Sumatera, Indonesia. This study evaluates the proximate of pempek instant flour and sensory evalution of pempek from mackerel fish (Scomberomorus commersonii). The values ranged on dry weight basis for: moisture (13,67-18,60%/100 g), ash (2,86%-6,40%/100 g), protein (33,68%-53,80%/100 g), fat (0,61%-2,35%/100 g) and total carbohydrate (18,84%-49,17%). Formula 1 (75% of mackerel fillets and 25% of tapioca flour) presented high moisture, ash, protein, and fat values, meanwhile lower total carbohydrate. Formula 2 (50% of mackerel fillets and 50% of tapioca flour) received the highest scores in sensory evaluation based on overall acceptance.
