KARAKTERISTIK CAKE YANG DIBUAT DENGAN SUBTITUSI CAMPURAN TEPUNG PISANG BATU (Musa balbisiana colla) DAN UBI JALAR KUNING (Ipomea batatus L.)

Abstract

Cake is made from wheat flour, sugar, and eggs. The supply of wheat flour depends on wheat import. The wheat imports predicted to continue to increase, so it is necessary to find an alternative to reduce the use of wheat flour as a primary ingredient of cake sourced from local raw materials which low utilized. Balbisiana banana was a low class of banana which had a low optimal utilization because it was disliked by the people. Balbisiana banana had a dark lightness so it was needed to add the yellow sweet potato flour to increase the brightness of the cake. Balbisiana banana and yellow sweet potato flour could be used as wheat to substitution because had high starch content, good nutritional value and low IG value. The purpose of this research was to know the influence of the proportion of balbisiana banana and yellow sweet potato flour on the physical and organoleptic characteristics of cake, to know the proportion of balbisiana banana and yellow sweet potato flour on cake with good properties and high preference, and chemical properties of cake high preference. The results showed that the proportion of balbisiana banana and yellow sweet potato flour significantly affected on color (lightness), loaf volume, and staleness, and there were difference on preference of color, flavor and overall but not difference taste and staleness (p
