Abstract

The nutritional deficiencies during the adolescent phase increase the risk of anemia. Therefore, it is essential to consider the consumption of foods that may help meet daily nutritional needs, including protein and iron. One potential snack alternative that has the potential to increase protein and iron intake is soybean and moringa leaf cookies. This study aims to determine the potential of soybean and moringa leaf cookies as a food source of protein and high in iron, as well as to analyze the nutritional content of the selected formula. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a ratio of soybeans and moringa leaves, namely F0 (0:0), F1 (70:30), F2 (60:40), and F3 (50:50). The results of organoleptic tests and estimates of nutrient content show that F2 is the best formula. The F2 nutrient content, which are moisture content 4.89 g / 100 g; ash content 2.69 g/100 g; protein 12.69 g/100 g. fat 23.57 g/100 g; carbohydrates 56.31 g/100 g; iron 7.82 mg/100 g; and calcium 92.69 mg/100 g. The result of calculating the F2 amino acid score of 95 with lysine as the only limiting amino acid. The energy contribution per serving size of cookies to the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adolescent males and females is 5.5% and 7.0%, respectively. F2 fulfills the criteria to be classified as a protein source product and is high in iron.
