Abstract

Cricket powder is an important potential source of alternative protein in the future. This research aims to develop flakes mixed with cricket powder to increase nutritional value and its application in granola ball product. The ratio of wheat flour to cricket powder was studied at 3 levels 90:10, 80:20 and 70:30 compared with the control formula (flakes without cricket powder). The result of physical, chemical quality, and sensory evaluation found that increasing the amount of cricket powder in the flakes, the protein content increased whereas the water activity (aw) was significantly lower (p≤0.05). The optimum ratio of wheat flour to cricket powder for flakes production was 70:30. Flakes were applied in granola ball products, the effect of the ratio of flakes, coconut flakes and oats at 70:10:20, 60:10:30, 50:20:30, 60:20:20 and 60:15:25 ratios on product qualities were studied. It was found that formulas with a ratio of 60:15:25 gained the highest liking scores in all attributes. The developed granola balls were considered as a source of protein (10.48%) and crude fiber (8.58%). The total energy was 4.36 kcal/g.
