Abstract

Abstract — This study aims to learn the effect of the addition of different concentrations of tea on protein digestibility and physical properties of the product. This study has been completed from February to July 2014. This study begins with the process of making instant teh talua, then continue with prodct analysis. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replications.
