The food intake of Indonesian people typically includes a high amount of rice. However, the domestic production of rice has not fulfilled the needs. Therefore, a rice analog whose characteristics resemble rice could become a rice substitute. The rice analog in this study was made from a combination of mocaf, cornflour, and mung bean sprout flour. The study aimed to discover the effect of different combinations of the three main ingredients on rice analog's chemical and physical characteristics as well as sensory acceptance, and to obtain the best formulation based on those parameters. This study was conducted by completely randomized experiment design (CRD) with a single factor of ratio between mocaf and mung bean sprout flour. The 5 formulas to be assessed were F1 (50%:10%), F2 (40%:20%), F3 (30%:30%), F4 (20%:40%), F5 (10%:50%). Based on sensory evaluation using hedonic test scoring method, formula F1 that was composed of 50% mocaf, 40% corn flour, and 10% mung bean sprout flour was the best formulation among all. This formula had a yellowish-white color, hulled rice-like oval and long shape, insipidity, neutral flavor, and sticky texture. The rice analogue F1 contained 7.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
