Respondents' Acceptance of Functional Candy with Ginger and Tempe as Substitute Ingredients

Abstract

This study aims to determine the acceptance of functional candy with ginger and tempe as substitute ingredients. This experimental research is conducted in February-June 2022 at the Laboratory of Home Economics Department, UNM. Data was collected from 37 trained panelists in the form of quality and preference of the candy, which consists of color, aroma, texture, taste, and preference. The material studied was candy with a substitution formula of ginger flour and tempe flour. The data analysis uses average, frequency, and t-test. The results show that the color indicator is getting darker, the aroma is getting more fragrant, the texture is brittle, the taste is spicy, and the likes are getting less. The most preferred formula is the formula FS152 with 6.6% of cinnamon extract, 3.45% of ginger extract, 4.95% of tempe flour, 19.295% of water, 56.61% of sucrose, and 9.095% of glucose syrup..
