Authors

Background: One of the efforts to overcome the problem of stunting in toddlers, especially in Central Lombok Regency, is to improve the nutritional status of mothers during pregnancy, especially mothers with chronic energy deficiency (KEK). The PMT program for pregnant women has been regulated in Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 51 of 2016 where pregnant women with KEK conditions are given a nutrition improvement program that has been set by the government, namely by providing additional food (PMT) in the form of biscuits.

Objectives: Developing additional food products for pregnant women in the form of biscuits using local food ingredients sourced from the koro sword bean.

Methods: The research design used a randomized block design (RBD) with 3 treatments (K = 3), 1 experimental unit and 3 repetitions, so the total number of trials was 3x1x3 = 9. Koro bean flour was also added to canavalia biscuit products with different doses, then the results were analyzed including tests of acceptability and nutrient content including energy, protein, fat and carbohydrates and calcium (Ca).

Results: The results showed that adding 50grams of jack bean flour increased the acceptability of respondents both in terms of color, aroma, texture and taste. The addition of 50 grams koro bean flour to canavalia biscuit products increases the nutritional content including energy, protein, fat and carbohydrates as well as calcium (Ca).

Conclusions: The proportion of the addition of jack bean flour affects the acceptability and increase in the nutritional content of "Canavalia Biscuits" including color, aroma, texture and taste. The best nutritional content of "Canavalia Biscuits" in the group with the addition of 50% mustard greens includes energy 479 kcal, protein 26 grams, fat 21.82 grams, carbohydrates 76.66 grams calcium (Ca) 159.7 mg.
