The aim of this study was to know a consumer acceptance and nutrients content of analogue meat based on gluten flour and sweet potato flour fortified with iron. The best product was decided by Comparisson of Matrix Exponential Methods with organoleptic test and processing cost consideration. Water content of this product was 59.38% (wb). This analogue meat contained of ash 5.68% (db), protein 32.44% (db), fat (db) 9.03%, carbohydrate 52.84% (db), energy 422.44 Kal (db), and iron 6.44 mg/100 g (db) with bioavaibility 27.43%. Essential amino acid contents of this product, histidine 20.61 mg/g protein was adequate for a day. Hardness and water hold capacity of raw analogue meat and cooked analogue meat were not significantly different (p>0.05). Thirty vegetarian consumer panels accepted this product more than 73.33% based on acceptance consumers test. In a day, portion that served was three slices meat (70 g) provided energy 119.88 Kal, protein 8.87 g, fat 2.47 g, carbohydrate 15.54 g, iron 1.76 mg.
