Sifat Fisik, Kimia, dan Sensori Mi Instan yang Dibuat dari Komposit Terigu - Pati Kimpul Modifikasi

Modified tannia starch (MTS) is the starch made from tannia tuber, which is provided a physical or chemical treatment so that it has better functional properties compared to native tannia starch. In this study, the effect of the composition of the wheat flour-MTS composite on the physical, chemical, and sensory properties of instant noodles was evaluated. MTS was produced by using the high moisture treatment (HMT) method, which was heating the starch at the temperature of 110?C and moisture content of 30% for 10 hours. The composite flour was made with various ratios of wheat flour and MTS (90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50, and 50). Subsequently, the composite flour was processed into instant noodles, and then the physical, chemical, and sensory properties of the noodles produced were evaluated. The results showed the ratio of wheat flour and MTS had a significant effect on the water content, protein content, carbohydrate content, cooking time, cooking loss, and water absorption capacity of the instant noodle. Based on the results of sensory evaluation, the composite of wheat flour-MTS (80:20) could produce the best instant noodles. The nutrition composition of the instant noodles produced, namely: water content (2.74%), fat content (29.19%), protein content (7.68%), and carbohydrate content (58.91%). If compared to the 100% wheat flour instant noodles, the wheat flour-MTS (80:20) instant noodles has a better aroma, better water absorption capacity, and shorter cooking time, but it has a higher cooking loss. In conclusion, MTS can be used as a partial substitute for flour in making instant noodles.
