The Kepok in this study was treated with liquid smoke, which is safe to use as an alternative to chemical preservatives and the use of liquid smoke can also extend the shelf life of the product. The aim of this research was to determine the best concentration of liquid smoke and the length of dampening as well as the best treatment for Sale Pisang Kepok with variations in the application of liquid smoke from palm shells and fiber. This research used a one-factor randomized block design (RBD) with various treatment combinations consisting of various liquid smoke concentrations (10, 15 and 20%) and soaking time (10, 15 and 20 minutes), which all together comprised 9 treatment combinations, each with 3 replications. The parameters observed were water content, ash content, sugar content, Total Plate Count (TPC) and sensory test (hedonic liking test). The results showed that treatment with a concentration of 20% with a soaking time of 15 minutes was the best combination. Physicochemical characteristics include: water content 25.45%, ash content 1.46%, sugar content 7.53%, TPC 3.23 x 107 cfu/g with sensory characteristics color 3.10 (like), aroma 3.10 (like), taste 3.17 (like), texture 2.93 (like lesslike) and overall 3.23 (like).
