Pengembangan Cookies Vegan Berbasis Tepung Mocaf dengan Penambahan Tepung Daun Kelor dan Tepung Kedelai

Abstract

Tepung daun kelor berpotensi untuk meningkatkan kandungan protein, kalsium dan serat total pada cookies vegan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan cookies vegan berbasis tepung mocaf dengan penambahan tepung daun kelor dan tepung kedelai sebagai sumber nutrisi alternatif bagi konsumen vegan. Lima formulasi dengan variasi konsentrasi tepung daun kelor (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) diuji menggunakan uji hedonik (warna, aroma, rasa, dan tekstur) oleh 38 panelis tidak terlatih, serta dianalisis kandungan protein, kalsium, dan serat total. Hasil uji hedonik menunjukkan bahwa formulasi F0 (0% tepung daun kelor) paling disukai, sedangkan penambahan tepung daun kelor hingga 10% (F2) masih dapat diterima secara sensori. Kandungan protein dan kalsium meningkat seiring penambahan tepung daun kelor. Formulasi F2 memenuhi klaim “sumber kalsium” sesuai Peraturan BPOM RI No. 1 Tahun 2022. Dengan demikian, cookies vegan dengan 10% tepung daun kelor memiliki potensi sebagai camilan sehat dan bergizi bagi konsumen vegan.

Moringa leaf flour has the potential to increase the protein, calcium, and total fiber content of vegan cookies. This study aims to develop vegan cookies based on mocaf flour with the addition of moringa leaf flour and soy flour as an alternative nutritional source for vegan consumers. Five formulations with varying concentrations of moringa leaf flour (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) were tested using a hedonic test (color, aroma, taste, and texture) by 38 untrained panelists, and analyzed for protein, calcium, and total fiber content. The hedonic test results showed that formulation F0 (0% moringa leaf flour) was the most preferred, while the addition of moringa leaf flour up to 10% (F2) was still sensorially acceptable. Protein and calcium content increased with the addition of moringa leaf flour. Formulation F2 meets the “calcium source” claim as per BPOM RI Regulation No. 1 of 2022. Thus, vegan cookies with 10% moringa leaf flour have the potential to be a healthy and nutritious snack for vegan consumers.
