Pengembangan Produk Snack Bar Japanese Curry Sumber Zat Besi Dengan Penambahan Dehydrated Vegetables

Abstract

Remaja rentan mengalami anemia akibat kurangnya asupan zat besi. Salah satu solusi adalah pengembangan makanan selingan sehat mengandung zat besi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan produk snack bar berbasis Japanese curry dengan penambahan dehydrated vegetables sebagai sumber zat besi. Formulasi terbaik dipilih berdasarkan uji organoleptik terhadap rasa, tekstur, aroma, dan warna menggunakan 30 panelis semi-terlatih. Analisis kandungan gizi dilakukan pada formula terpilih untuk menilai kandungan zat besi, protein, lemak, dan karbohidrat, kemudian dibandingkan dengan Acuan Label Gizi (ALG). penelitian menunjukkan bahwa formula 2 (F2) merupakan formulasi terbaik dengan penerimaan panelis tertinggi. Kandungan zat besi dalam F2 5,57 mg/100 g, sehingga memenuhi kriteria klaim "sumber zat besi". Penambahan dehydrated vegetables memberikan kontribusi terhadap peningkatan kandungan gizi dan variasi tekstur produk. Kata kunci : kari jepang, remaja, sayur dehidrasi, snack bar, zat besi.

Adolescents are susceptible to anemia due to insufficient iron intake. One solution is to develop healthy snacks containing iron. This study aimed to develop a Japanese curry-based snack bar product with the addition of dehydrated vegetables as an iron source. The best formulation was selected based on organoleptic tests of taste, texture, aroma, and color using 30 semi-trained panelists. Nutritional content analysis was conducted on the selected formula to assess iron, protein, fat, and carbohydrate content, then compared with the Nutrition Label Reference (ALG). The results showed that formula 2 (F2) was the best formulation with the highest panelist acceptance. The iron content in F2 was 5,57 mg/100 g, thus meeting the criteria for the "source of iron". The addition of dehydrated vegetables contributed to increased nutritional content and texture variation of the product. Keywords: adolescents, dehydrated vegetables, iron, japanese curry, snack bar.
