Fortification of Health Food Supplement as Functional Food in Sago Analogue

Abstract

Health food supplement is a health support food that can help meet important nutrients for the body’s needs to function properly. Therefore, supplements are not full substitutes for medicines and food, meaning that health food supplements are intended to supplement or increase food intakes. This research is designed to create an economic multiplier effect through the development of sago analog rice as Riau’s flagship product. The purpose of this study is to process fortified sago analog rice fortified with health food supplements made from functional food ingredients (gabus fish concentrate, catfish oil and chlorella sp. concentrate). The research method used is an experimental method with experiments on processing sago analog rice fortified with health food supplements made from functional components of food (amino acid albuminl, crude fiber and omega-9 fatty acids). The treatments given are formulations of analog rice with four levels, namely: sago analog rice (F1), corn analog rice (F2), red rice analog rice (F3), and analog combination sago rice, red rice and corn (F4). The results show that, based on organoleptic preference tests, F4 analog rice was most preferred by panelists, namely analog rice combined with different sources of starch (sago, red rice and corn).
