Analog rice production of composite materials flour (cassava, avocado seeds, and Tofu waste) for functional food

Abstract

Analog rice is a food substitute for rice that comes from tubers. In this study used composite flour raw materials from cassava flour (Manihot esculenta), avocado seed flour (Persea americana mill), and tofu waste flour which are the basic ingredients of analog rice makers. Cassava flour (mocaf) has a low amylose content of around 17% and amylopectin content is quite high at 83%, while avocado seeds contain starch at 23%, and tofu waste are rich in fiber and antioxidants, so that the mixture of these raw materials can into analog rice which is rich in fiber and nutrition. The purpose of this study was to obtain the right mixtures of ingredients and physicochemical properties of the analog rice. The stages of this research began with the manufacture of cassava flour, avocado seed flour, and tofu waste flour. The main research is the manufacture of analog rice made from cassava flour, avocado seed flour, and tofu waste flour. The method used in making analog rice uses extrusion technology. This technology is one of the technologies that has been used to manufacture rice analogous to broken rice raw materials. The expected output, which is analog rice can be used as rice substitute rice which can be used as fiber-rich and nutritional functional food.
