Pengembangan Nugget Ikan Wader serta Kacang Merah sebagai MP-ASI Tinggi Protein, Zat Besi, dan Seng untuk Usia 12-24 Bulan.

Abstract

Stunting merupakan permasalahan gizi kronis yang memerlukan intervensi melalui penyediaan pangan bergizi tinggi, terutama pada masa bayi usia 12–24 bulan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan nugget berbasis ikan wader (Rasbora argyrotaenia) dan kacang merah (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) sebagai Makanan Pendamping Air Susu Ibu (MP-ASI) tinggi protein, zat besi, dan seng. Produk diformulasikan dalam tiga variasi proporsi bahan baku: F1 (50%:50%), F2 (70%:30%), dan F3 (90%:10%). Evaluasi meliputi uji sensori (rating penerimaan, ranking, intensitas atribut), uji fisik (warna dan kekerasan), dan analisis kimia proksimat serta kandungan mineral. F2 terpilih sebagai formula terbaik berdasarkan kombinasi nilai sensori tertinggi dan kandungan gizi. Produk ini mengandung 264,27 kkal energi, 21,14%bk protein, 15,79%bk lemak, 35,54%bk karbohidrat, 48,03mg/100g kalsium, 3,40mg/100g zat besi, dan 2,94mg/100g. Satu takaran saji (90 g) nugget F2 memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap Angka Kecukupan Gizi (AKG) anak usia 1–3 tahun, khususnya protein (54,4%), zat besi (43,7%), dan seng (88,3%), serta memenuhi klaim tinggi protein, zat besi, serta seng. Nugget ini berpotensi sebagai MP-ASI lokal siap saji yang padat gizi dan terjangkau dengan estimasi harga jual Rp9.580,00 per porsi.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that requires intervention through the provision of nutrient-dense foods, particularly during the critical period of 12–24 months of age. This study aimed to develop nuggets made from wader fish (Rasbora argyrotaenia) and red beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) as complementary foods to breast milk that are high in protein, iron, and zinc. The product was formulated in three variations of raw material proportions: F1 (50%:50%), F2 (70%:30%), and F3 (90%:10%). Evaluations included sensory tests (acceptance rating, ranking, and attribute intensity), physical tests (color and hardness), and proximate chemical analysis as well as mineral content determination. F2 was selected as the best formula based on the highest combination of sensory scores and nutritional content. The product contained 264.27 kcal of energy, 21.14% dw protein, 15.79% dw fat, 35.54% dw carbohydrates, 48.03 mg/100 g calcium, 3.40 mg/100 g iron, and 2.94 mg/100 g zinc. One serving (90 g) of F2 nuggets contributed significantly to the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for children aged 1–3 years, particularly protein (54.4%), iron (43.7%), and zinc (88.3%), and met the claim of being high in protein, iron, and zinc. These nuggets have the potential to serve as ready-to-eat, nutrient-dense, and affordable local complementary foods, with an estimated selling price of IDR 9,580.00 per serving.
