MODIFICATION OF ARROWROOT (MARANTA ARUNDINACEA) FLOUR STICK BISCUITS WITH THE ADDITION OF CASHEW NUTS AND TILAPIA AS PROVIDING SUPPLEMENTARY FOOD FOR UNDERWEIGHT TODDLERS (Analysis of Energy Content, Protein Levels, Protein Digestibility, Fat, and Organoleptic Properties)
Abstract
Underweight in toddlers is a nutritional problem that has a negative impact on physical
growth and development. This problem can be overcome through innovation in making
local food-based supplementary foods. This study aims to analyze the differences in
arrowroot flour stick biscuits, with the addition of cashew nuts and tilapia fish on
energy content, protein, protein digestibility, fat and organoleptic. This study used a
type of true experimental laboratory research. The research design was a completely
randomized design (CRD) consisting of 3 treatments and 1 control with the ratio of
arrowroot flour, cashew nuts, and tilapia with formulations F0 (100:0:0), F1 (80:15:5),
F2 (70:20:10), F3 (60:25:15) with 3 repetitions of analysis. The test method of energy
content (by atwater), protein (kjeldahl), protein digestibility (enzymatic), fat content
(soxhlet) and organoleptic with research subjects amounted to 50 untrained panelists
consisting of 25 mothers of toddlers and 25 toddlers. Data analysis of energy content,
protein content, protein and fat digestibility with One Way Anova test followed by post
hoc Duncan and organoleptic test data using Kruskal Wallis (p < 0.05). The results of
the study on significant differences in energy content, protein, protein digestibility and
fat in arrowroot flour stick biscuits, cashew nuts and tilapia fish (p = 0.000). The results
of organoleptic tests on mothers of toddlers with color parameters show a value (p =
0.864), texture (p = 0.791), taste (p = 0.806) and aroma (p = 0.924), while in toddlers
the value of favorability (p = 0.861). There are significant differences in energy content,
protein, protein digestibility, fat and there are no significant differences in organoleptic
tests on arrowroot, cashew nut and tilapia flour stick biscuits.
