Abstract

This investigation aims to develop a recipe for rice crispy with sweet potato and protein from the insects supplements. In this investigation, the ration of three (3) ingredients, namely tapioca flour (300-500g), cricket powder (200-400g) and sweet potato (300-500g), and the sensory evaluation of rice crispy products were studied. A mixture design was applied to examine the ratio of tapioca flour, cricket powder, and sweet potato on the overall preference for rice crispy products. The results displayed that the appropriate ratio for the production of rice crispy products were the mixture of tapioca flour, cricket powder and sweet potato at 428, 200 and 372 g, consequentially. This ratio gave the highest overall preference with a value of preference score of 7.87. For the final product, the proximate composition of developed rice crispy with sweet potato and protein from the insects supplementation were showed the highest protein, fiber and minerals when compared to commercial crispy (shrimp and fish crispy). The expansion ratio value of rice crispy with sweet potato and protein from the insects supplemented barely differ from shrimp crispy, but noticeably higher than fish crispy (p≤0.05).
