Abstract
Powder tempeh drink is a powder drink product made from tempeh. This product is an alternative functional food that can be consumed easily. Use of tempeh and germinated-soybean tempeh (GST) as main ingredient is predicted result higher protein content than other existing drink powder products, but it may also affect the product characteristics as a drink product. The objective of this research is to compare the properties of powder drink from GST and powder drink from common tempeh (non-GST), including chemical, physical, and sensory properties. Result of rating hedonic test showed that the acceptance of GST powder drink and non-GST powder drink is not significantly different for all sensory attributes, except color (p>0.05). Results of proximate analysis of GST powder drink showed in higher moisture and protein content, but lower fat content compared to non-GST powder drink product. The using of GST also changed several physical properties. It increased bulk density, wettability, total soluble solid, water absorption, solubility in water, and precipitation rate. Compared to three commercial products (malt cereal drink, mungbean powder drink, and soybean flour), tempeh powder drink has lower bulk density, total soluble solid, and water solubility index than three others commercial product, but higher in wettability and water absorptivity index.
