ABSTRACT

Artificial meat is a product made from vegetable protein made from non-meat ingredients, but conforms to or closely resembles the properties of real meat. Artificial meat has no cholesterol and low saturated fatty acid content so it can be consumed by people who cannot consume beef due to disease. The protein content in legumes, including kidney beans, has long been recognized for its contribution to the daily diet. Even red beans supply almost as much protein as meat. This study aims to determine the effect of the right amount of red bean flour and tapioca flour on the manufacture of artificial meat. This research was carried out at the Agricultural Product Technology laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture UISU Medan. The study used a factorial completely randomized design with two replications with two treatments, namely: treatment of the number of red beans (T) which consisted of four levels, namely 40% (T1), 50% (T2), 55% (T3), 60% (T4), and the amount of tapioca flour (O) which consists of four levels, namely 5% (O1), 10% (O2), 15% (O3), 20% (O4 ). The results showed that to make artificial meat based on 60-70% red bean flour and 5% tapioca flour, the panelists preferred artificial meat because it had the highest texture and protein content.
