(Development of Chicken By Product into Tiale Floss Made From Chicken Liver and Catfish for Supplementary Food of Toddlers)

Abstract

Background: Supplementary food can enrich the nutritional value of food that will be consumed
by children. Existing supplementary food is considered less than optimal because the basic source
of ingredients is carbohydrates, while at the age of toddlers there is an increased need for protein
and minerals to support growth and development. Protein sources that have high bioavailability
come from animals. Objective: This study aimed to develop supplementary food for toddlers made
from chicken liver and catfish into Tiale Floss. Methods: The study design was true experimental
with two repetitions of Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatment factor in making
Tiale Floss was the ratio of chicken liver and catfish flesh. There are 4 treatment levels, namely
F1 = 200:0; F2 = 150:50; F3 = 100:100; F4 = 50:150. The hedonic test was used to see the
acceptance level of 30 semi-trained panelists for Abon Tiale. The data analysis used was
descriptive and inferential (One Way ANOVA and Duncan's test) with a confidence level of 95%.
Results: The four formulations of Abon Tiale made from chicken liver and catfish flesh differed in
each attribute of color (p=0.000), taste (p=0.005), aroma (p=0.001), texture (p=0.000). The best
formula based on the results of the panelists' assessment was formula F3 (50:150). Conclusion:
The use of chicken by-products such as chicken liver has the potential to become a supplementary
food for children under five in order to prevent nutritional problems. The addition of catfish meat
to floss can increase acceptance in terms of color, aroma, taste and texture.
