INNOVATION OF SNACK BARS WITH SUBSTITUTION OF SOY FLOUR AND MORINGA LEAF FLOUR AS A SNACK FOR ADOLESCENTS WITH ANEMIA (Analysis of Protein Content, Dietary Fiber, Iron, and Organoleptic Test)
Abstract
Anemia due to iron deficiency occurs as a result of insufficient iron intake, which leads
to a decrease in hemoglobin concentration in the blood. Soy flour has a high protein
content, while moringa leaf flour is rich in iron and fiber, making them suitable as raw
materials for snack bars. This study analyzed the differences in substituting soy flour
and moringa leaf flour in snack bar formulations concerning protein content, dietary
fiber, iron levels, and organoleptic tests for adolescents with anemia. This study used
a true experimental design with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). There were
four treatments and one control, with three repetitions of the analysis. The formulations
used different ratios of soy flour to moringa leaf flour: F1 (100%:0%), F2
(98.5%:1.5%), F3 (97%:3%), F4 (95.5%:4.5%), F5 (94%:6%). The analytical methods
included the Kjeldahl method for protein content, the gravimetric method for dietary
fiber, spectrophotometry for iron content, and organoleptic testing for acceptability.
The data analysis for protein, dietary fiber, and iron content was conducted using one
way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s post hoc test. In contrast, organoleptic analysis
used the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the Mann-Whitney post hoc test, with a
significance level of p<0.005. The results indicated a significant difference among
snack bar formulations with the substitution of soy flour and moringa leaf flour
regarding protein content, dietary fiber, iron levels, and organoleptic test results for
adolescents with anemia (p = 0.000) In conclusion, there were significant differences
in protein content, dietary fiber, iron levels, and organoleptic properties of snack bars
with soy flour and moringa leaf flour substitution as a snack for adolescents with
anemia.
