DEVELOPMENT OF ANALOG RICE FROM PURPLE CORN AND SEAWEED Gracillaria sp POTENTIAL AS HIGH-FIBER FUNCTIONAL FOOD

Abstract

Analog rice (imitation rice) is made from ingredients such as cereals and tubers whose shape and nutritional composition are similar to rice. The main ingredients that can be used to create analog rice are purple corn and seaweed which have good nutritional value. The purpose of this study was to determine the formulation of analog rice with high fiber. This study has 4 treatments, namely K1 (polished rice), K2 (seaweed 5%), K3 (seaweed 10%), and K4 (seaweed 15%). The highest dietary fiber is 5.77%, low air content is 7.09%, has an ash content ranging from 0.75 - 6.5%, fat content ranges from 1.24 - 5.66%, Carbohydrates range from 71.29 - 77, 48%., protein 7.09 - 8.35%. Color analysis of analog rice parameter L * (brightness) ranges from 38.20 - 40.66. WI value ranges from 59.43 to 60.68, a* (red) value ranges from 5.97 to 5.39, b* (yellow) value ranges from 9.8 to 10.73, and tranparancy value ranges from 59.43 to 60.68. The results of the organoleptic test of all parameters show that the highest organoleptic value is obtained in milled rice and in the analog rice formula which has the highest value, namely K2 (5% seaweed).
