Puff pastry is a crunchy textured food that has a fragile network of layers made from wheat flour. To anticipate the use of wheat flour, flour from local food ingredients such as pomfret flour and Pisona alba leaf flour can be used. Purpose of the research: 1) Knowing  the level of public preference for puff pastry with composite substitution of pomfret flour and Pisonia alba leaf flour; 2) Knowing the composition of the best formula used in the manufacture of puff pastry composite substitution of pomfret flour and Pisonia alba leaf flour. The methods used in this research are the method of literature, experimentation, documentation, questionnaire, sensory testing, hedonic testing and data analysis. Pomfret flour and Pisonia alba  leaf used as much as 5%, 10%, 15% of the weight of the flour. The results showed that puff pastry with pomfret flour and Pisonia alba leaf flour were the most preferred and accepted by the panelists as products with the composite substitution of pomfret flour and Pisonia alba leaf flour as much as 5%.

Tape is a traditional fermented food whose benefits can be increased by adding probiotic cells such as Saccharomyces boulardii and Lactobacillus plantarum Dad-13. Tape tends to be easily damaged, so to maintain the viability of probiotics and as a food diversification, tape can be substituted for ice cream dough. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of substitution and the proportion of substitution of glutinous rice and cassava tape in the manufacture of ice cream on the characteristics and preference level of probiotic ice cream. This research method was carried out using a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern with two factors, the first factor was the type of tape, and the second factor was the proportion of substitution. The type of tape used are white cassava tape, yellow cassava tape, white glutinous rice tape, and black glutinous rice tape with substitution proportions of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. Analysis of probiotic sticky rice tape and cassava ice cream included water content, total solids, melting time, antioxidant activity, total lactic acid bacteria, total yeast, and preference level. The data obtained will be calculated using the Anova statistikal method. If there is a significant difference between treatments, it is carried out with Duncan's Multiple Range Test significant difference test at a confidence level of α= 5%. The results showed that glutinous rice and cassava tape types and their substitution proportions affected the water content, total solids, melting time, antioxidant activity, total lactic acid bacteria, total yeast, and preference level. Based on the preference level and antioxidant activity, the best ice cream was produced with the substitution of 20% white cassava tape or 20% yellow cassava tape, which had an antioxidant activity of 32.41% and 33.17% RSA and total lactic acid bacteria of 1.79 x 108 and 1.67 x 108 CFU/g, respectively.

food service in higher education institutions has an important role in supporting the health and well-being of students and staff. However, often the lack of attention to nutritional needs and the variety of menus can lead to health problems and lack of user satisfaction. In the context of increasing awareness of the importance of nutrition in supporting health and academic performance, this study fills a knowledge gap on how food services in higher education institutions can meet nutritional needs by presenting a nutritionally balanced menu. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the nutritional needs and plan a balanced nutrition menu in food services in higher education institutions. This study used observational study design. The Data was collected through a survey of 300 students and 100 staff from several higher education institutions in a particular city. The survey included questions about eating habits, food preferences, nutritional knowledge, and satisfaction with existing menus. In addition, direct observation was also made of the menu served in the campus cafeteria. Analysis of the data showed that the majority of respondents had limited nutritional knowledge and tended to consume fast food. The variety of menus offered is also limited, with deficiencies in serving nutritionally balanced meals. However, the majority of respondents expressed a desire to have more access to a nutritionally balanced menu. The results of this study highlight the importance of raising awareness of nutrition and offering a balanced variety of menus in higher education institutions. The discussion also includes the practical implications of these findings in improving the health and academic performance of the campus community. This study confirms the importance of nutritional needs analysis and balanced nutrition menu planning in food services in higher education institutions. Providing a balanced menu can improve the health and well-being of students and staff.

The availability of healthy and unhealthy snacks in schools affects the selection of children's snacks. One of the foods that can be processed into snacks/school food is sausage., so that it can be used as healthy food, meat sausage ingredients can be replaced with vegetable ingredients such as oyster mushrooms and tempeh. With the addition of kenikir as fiber and yellow yam flour as adhesive. This study has the objectives of (1) Knowing the level of public preference for sausage products from oyster mushrooms, tempeh, kenikir and yellow yam flour. (2) Knowing the sausage formula from oyster mushroom, tempeh, kenikir and yellow yam flour which is the most preferred by the community. (3) Knowing the process of making sausages from oyster mushrooms, tempeh, The method used in this study is the method of literature, experiments, documentation, and sensory testing. The percentage of using oyster mushrooms and tempeh in making sausages is 90%:10%, 80%:20%, and 70%:30%, of the mushroom weight. The results showed that the sausage product was the most preferred with a ratio of 90% oyster mushrooms and 10% tempeh. As a suggestion, further research is needed to determine the nutritional content of oyster mushroom sausage, tempeh, kenikir and yellow yam flour

Stick is a snacksthat haveslong, flat, savory andscrunchy taste madesfrom flour, eggs, butter, water and othersadditional seasonings. Food by-product from tofu has the potential to be used as an ingredientsfor stick makingsbecause of high protein and fiber content. In addition, local rawsmaterials such as mocaf floursand green spinach are rich in fiber content that can fulfill fiber needs of the body. This research is experimentswith purpose was to determine the physical, chemical, sensory characteristics and determine the formulation of sticks that produce high levels of fiber andsprotein. The experimental design is a completely randomized design (CRD) with the first factorscomparing tofu waste flour and mocaf flour (50: 150, 100: 100 and 150: 50) with the additionsof spinach (10%, 20% and 30%). The results showed that the stick formulation with the additionsof the best green spinach based on chemical and organoleptic values were 150 grams of tofuswaste flour, 50 grams of mocaf flour with the addition of 60 grams spinach that have a moisture content 3.742%, an ash content 2.353%, a protein 8.317 %, crude fiber 1.997%, fat 12.115% andscarbohydrate 73.473%. Based on the physical andsorganoleptic values, the tofu dregs flour was 50 grams, 150 grams of mocaf flour with the addition of 20 grams of spinach, the color yield was 2.467%, the flavor of tofu by product 2.200%, the flavor of mocaf was 2.467%, the flavor of spinach was 2.200%, the texture was crispy 3.800% and the total preference was 3.200%.s
