Pukis is a traditional cake from Indonesia, made of wheat flour, sugar, eggs, yeast and coconut milk. Cowpeas contains high protein and fiber. Nutrition in cowpea can be used to enrich the nutritional value of pukis. The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics of cowpea flour and mocaf with different yeast concentrations in pukis which are high in protein, fiber and the most preferred by consumers. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), the first factor was the ratio of cowpea flour and mocaf (50:50, 70:30, 90:10). The second factor was addition of yeast (2.2; 2.4; and 2.6 g). The analysis indicated that the rasio of cowpea flour to mocaf (50:50, 70:30, 90:10) and the proportion of yeast (2.2; 2.4; and 2.6 g) has a significant effect to chemical analysis of protein, fat, carbohydrate, crude fiber and specific volume, also has a significant effect to sensory tests of color, taste, texture and overall sensory tests. The formulation of pukis which is high in protein, fiber and the most preferred by consumers was found in the ratio of cowpea flour and mocaf 90:10 with the addition of 2.2 g yeast. The best quality of Pukis contain protein 9.12%; fiber 12.75%; moisture content 34.88%; ash content 1.42%; fat 11.45%; carbohydrate 43.14% and specific volume 1.10%. Pukis formulation with the highest level of preference by the panelists has a value of 3.63 (neutral). Pukis from cowpea flour and mocaf with different concentrations of yeast has potency to be a source of protein and dietary fiber.

Eclairs are cakes that are much favored by the general public, became as éclair a hollow texture and are soft on the inside. Mocaf is flour has been modified by fermentation, and has characteristics similar to wheat flour. This reseacrh used a variety of peanuts flour such as cowpeas, red bens and mung beans as protein and fiber source. The variety of nuts added aims to encrease the nutritional content of eclairs. This research was purposed to determine the chemical and sensory characteristics of eclairs which are high in protein and fiber and to determine consumer preferences from the comparison of mocaf and wheat flour with various types of peanut flour. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors, the first factor was the ratio of mocaf flour and wheat flour 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, the second factor was the variety of species of beans, cowpeas, red beans, mung beans. The results showed that the protein content was the highest, in the mocaf and wheat flour of 7:3 with a protein content of 8.50%. the eclairs formulation with the highest fiber content was found in a 9:1 ratio of mocaf flour and wheat flour with variety types of mung beans flour with a fiber content of 9.94%. The formulation of the ratio of mocaf flour : wheat flour 7:3 with variety species is the most preferred formula overall with an overall preference level of 3.67. Eclairs with the addition of peanut flour has the potential to increase product protein.
