Karakteristik Fisikokimia Tepung Pisang Tongka Langit (Musa troglodytarum L.) Pregelatinisasi dengan Variasi Penambahan Air
Physicochemical Characteristics of Pregelatinized Tongka Langit Banana (Musa troglodytarum) Flour with Water Addition Variations
Abstract
This study aimed to characterize the physicochemical properties of pregelatinized tongka langit banana flour with varying levels of water addition. A completely randomized design with a single factor of water addition was employed, consisting of four treatment levels (0, 15, 20, and 25%) and three replications. The results indicated that tongka langit banana flour, both without and with pregelatinization treatment, exhibited water content ranging from 5.38 to 12.90%, ash content from 3.88 to 17.96%, water absorption capacity from 1.54 to 1.83%, solubility from 0.13 to 0.20%, swelling power from 0.14 to 0.17 g/g, and amylose content from 15.23 to 23.33%. Pregelatinization treatment enhanced water absorption capacity, amylose content, swelling power, and solubility, while reducing the water and ash content of tongka langit banana flour.
