The Level of Nori's Relief Made from Raw Seaweed Mixed Gelidium sp. and Eucheuma cottonii
Aims: This research aims to obtain the most preferred Nori made from the mixture of Gelidium sp. and Eucheuma cottonii seaweed.
Study Design: Research was conducted experimentally.
Methodology: The method used in this research was an experimental method with 5 mixed treatments of Gelidium sp. and E. cottonii with 20 semi-trained panelists involved in preference tests. The treatment was a mixture of Gelidium sp. and E. cottonii 90%: 10%, 80%: 20%, 70%: 30%, 60%: 40% and 50%: 50%. The observed variables consisted of hedonic tests namely appearance, aroma, texture, taste. Chemical tests were water content and crude fiber content.
Results: The results showed that the mixture of Nori made from seaweed Gelidium sp. and Eucheuma cottonii at 70%: 30% proportions was the most preferred over other treatments, with a moisture content of 15.35% and the crude fiber content of 5.36%. The median value of hedonic Nori test of Gelidium sp. and Eucheuma. cottonii on appearance and texture 9 was very preferred, the value of aroma and taste 7 were also preferred.
Conclusion: The mixture of Nori made from seaweed Gelidium sp. and Eucheuma. cottonii 70%: 30% was most preferred by panelists.
