Abstract

Protein deficiency in the diet is the most serious nutritional problem in cases of malnutrition, which is often known as Protein Energy Deficiency (KEP). Children and toddlers need more protein for more active growth and energy exchange. Therefore, an alternative source of energy and high protein is needed which has been known by all levels of society as raw material for brownies such as kepok bananas and seluang fish. It is expected that these products can overcome and prevent KEP problems such as malnutrition and malnutrition in infants.

This research is an experimental research conducted in two stages of research. The first stage was processing seluang fish and cork fish tempe formulations with a ratio of 25%: 75%. At this stage organoleptic tests were carried out with Mann Whitney analysis with a significance of 0.05%, and supporting data for proximate and amino acid tests.

The supporting data of the highest essential amino acid test results in cork fish, tempe formulation, which is a lot of 1.08% leucinese and in seluang fish, tempe formulation is 0.80%, the highest essential amino acid content in seluang fish is as much as 2.64% amino glutamic acid and cork tempe formulation 2.21%.
