Pengembangan Nugget Berbasis Kacang Gude dan Kacang Merah sebagai Lauk Nabati bagi Vegetarian

Abstract

Kelompok vegetarian yang mengonsumsi bahan pangan nabati memiliki risiko kekurangan konsumsi protein dan zat besi yang dapat menyebabkan anemia karena zat gizi tersebut mayoritas terkandung di pangan hewani. Kacang gude memiliki kandungan protein dan serat pangan yang tinggi, sedangkan kacang merah memiliki kandungan protein dan zat besi yang tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk melakukan pengembangan nugget berbasis kacang gude dan kacang merah sebagai lauk nabati bagi vegetarian. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan tiga formulasi (kacang gude:kacang merah) yaitu F1 (5:1). F2 (4:2), dan F3 (3:3). F3 ditetapkan sebagai formula terpilih. Formula terpilih nugget berbasis kacang gude dan kacang merah memiliki 49,64g/100g kandungan air, 1,63g/100g kandungan abu, 9,04g/100g kandungan protein, 2,72g/100g kandungan lemak, 36,97g/100g kandungan karbohidrat, kandungan zat besi sebanyak 7,26mg/100 gram, serta serat pangan sebanyak 6,4g/100 gram. Selain itu, formula terpilih nugget dapat menyumbang sekitar 8,7% energi per takaran saji dan berpotensi untuk diklaim sebagai produk rendah lemak, tinggi zat besi, dan tinggi serat. Estimasi harga jual nugget formula terpilih sebesar Rp42.680,27.

Vegetarians consuming plant-based foods are at risk of low protein and iron intake which can lead to anemia because these nutrients are mostly found in animal based foods. Pigeon pea has high protein and dietary fiber content, while kidney bean has high protein and iron content. The purpose of this study was to develop nuggets based on pigeon pea and kidney bean as a plant-based dish for vegetarians. This research used the Completely Randomized Design method with three formulations (pigeon pea:kidney bean), namely F1 (5:1). F2 (4:2), and F3 (3:3). F3 was determined as the selected formula. The selected formula of pigeonpea and red bean-based nuggets had 49.64g/100g water content, 1.63g/100g ash content, 9.04g/100g protein content, 2.72g/100g fat content, 36.97g/100g carbohydrate content, 7.26mg/100g iron content, and 6.4g/100g dietary fiber. In addition, the selected nugget formula can contribute about 8.7% of energy per serving size and has the potential to be claimed as a low-fat, high iron, and high fiber product. The estimated selling price of the selected formula nuggets is Rp42,680.27.
