Chemical and Organoleptic Characteristics of Pempek Using Different Ratios of Lampam Fish Surimi and Tapioca Flour

Abstract

The use of lampam fish as a raw material for pempek is a new effort to overcome the high cost of snakehead fish. The study aims to determine the chemical and organoleptic characteristics of pempek using a comparison of lampam fish surimi with tapioca flour. The study was conducted in the laboratory of the Muhammadiyah University of Palembang and the Agricultural Product Technology laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University from December 2023 to February 2024. The study used a non-factorial randomized block design with five treatment levels, namely P1 (surimi 250 g:tapioca flour 350 g), P2 (surimi 300 g:tapioca flour 350 g), P3 (surimi 350:tapioca flour 350 g), P4 (surimi 400 g:tapioca flour 350 g), P5 (surimi 450 g:tapioca flour 350 g) with three replications.
