PEMBUATAN BERAS ANALOG BERBAHAN DASAR TEPUNG PISANG (Musa paradisiaca)

ABSTRACT: Analog rice is one of the solutions that can be developed to overcome the problems of food security both in terms of the use of a new food source or for diversification of food.  The purposes of this study were to determine the effect of starch as a binder in the manufacture of analog rice and to examine the properties of analog rice in the term of moisture content, grains diameter, water absorption, bulk density, and expantion ability. Analog rice was performed by  using a  set of analog  rice grain  making machine (granulator).  Five different  compositions of analog rice were made and tested. The formulas are pure bananas flour rice (100 % banana flour) and mixed of banana flour and tapioca flour with ratio of  95 : 5, 90 : 10, 85 : 15 and 80 : 20. The results show that the water content of analog rice is between 10,41 % and 13,08 %, water absorption range from 36,98 % to 64,32 %, bulkdensity of 0,766 g /cm3 to 0,794 g /cm3, and expantion ability range from 5,4% to 14,4%. The addition amount of the flour mixture causes enlargement of the grain diameter.
