Banana is one of the potential tropical fruit commodities in Indonesia, including in Brebes Regency, Central Java Province. So far, people have only used the banana fruit and heart as food processing materials, while banana peels have only been processed product waste. Even though the banana peel contains 18.5% carbohydrates, 68.90% water, some vitamin C, various B-complex vitamins, including B6, fat, lutein, anti-oxidants, calcium, vegetable oil, fiber, serotonin and sufficient protein. With a simple food processing technology, these banana peels can be processed into banana peel chips with sweet, savory and spicy flavors which can be family meals or snacks that have nutritional value and can automatically reduce organic waste and generate income. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the addition of whiting on the organoleptic characteristics of banana peel chips. This research was conducted using a quantitative experimental method using a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors, namely the addition of whiting and soaking time. Parameters measured were acceptability or organoleptic texture, color, aroma and taste.

Sticks are delicious, crunchy, savory, long, thin, and brownish yellow snacks with various flavors.  The main ingredients of this product consist of wheat flour, , eggs, garlic, pepper, and salt.  Celery leaves were chosen because they are easy to obtain and to optimize local ingredients. Mung bean (Phaseolus radiates) itself is a vegetable food that is high in protein and fiber where the protein contained is 20-25%. This study aims to determine the effect of sticks mung bean flour and the addition of celery.  The design used was a 2 factor factorial completely randomized design (CRD).  Factor 1 is the ratio of wheat flour : mung bean flour  (75:25, 50:50, 25:75) and factor 2 is the concentration of celery porridge (10%, 20%, 30% in 30 ml of water).  The best results of chemical analysis based on the highest protein content were the ratio of wheat flour : mung bean flour 25:75 with concentration of celery porridge 20% with 2.22% water content, 1.74% ash content, 23.58% fat content, 17.75% protein content, 8.28% crude fiber and 46.41 for carbohydrates by difference, color sensory test value 3.73 (greenish brown), crunchy texture 3.40 (crispy), celery taste 3.60 (taste celery flavor) mung bean taste 2.67 (a bit of green bean flavor), celery aroma 3, 33 (smelling of celery), and 3.27 (preferred) for overall liking. The most preferred formulation of celery sticks by consumers is the comparison of wheat flour : mung bean flour 75:25 with the addition of 10% celery porridge concentration with a value of 3.47 (preferred). Sticks made from green beans and celery can be an alternative food that is high in protein and fiber.
