dc.description.abstract | This aim of this
research was to determine the effect of the amount of pora-pora fish and leavening agent
concentration on the chemico-physical and organoleptic properties of sweet potato fish
crackers. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors: the
amount addition of fish, i.e., 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% and baking powder concentration,
i.e., 0.1%, 0.2 %, 0.3% and 0.4%. Observed parameters were moisture content, ash
content, protein content, fiber content and organoleptic tests (color, aroma, flavor, and
texture).
The results showed that the addition of pora-pora fish had highly significant
effect on moisture content, ash content, protein content, fiber content and organoleptic
tests (color, aroma, flavor, and texture). The Leavening agent concentration had highly
significant effect on moisture content, ash content, protein content, fiber content and
organoleptic tests (color, flavor, and texture) and had significant efffect on aroma.
Interaction of the amount of pora-pora fish and leavening agent concentration had highly
significant effect on moisture content, protein content and fiber content, and had
significant effect on ash content, aroma and texture, and had no significant effect on
color and flavor. Twenty percent of pora-pora fish and 0.2% of leavening agent gave the
best crackers. | en_US |
