KARAKTERISTIK SENSORIS DAN KANDUNGAN SERAT BISKUIT TINGGI SERAT DARI JANTUNG PISANG (MUSA PARADISIACA) SEBAGAI MAKANAN SELINGAN ANAK OBESITAS

The aim of this study was to produce functional foods in the form of high-fiber biscuit that could be used as a snack for obese children. The experimental design used in this study was a  completely randomized design with the formulas as the treatment factor. The selection of the best biscuits was done by  weighting method between nutritional value and the result of hedonic test. F1 biscuits with 35 % substitution of banana inflorescence flour and F2 with 45% substitution did not have significant difference by ANOVA of the hedonic test result, so F2 with higher fiber than F1 was chosen as the preferred formula, which could contribute 13% of fiber based on Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). One serving (50g) of banana inflorescence biscuits contains 220 Kal, 3.55g protein, 8.9g fat, 31.64g carbohydrate, and 3.99g of total dietary fiber.
