As the world of culinary creation develops, there are many food product innovations that, apart from being snacks, also contain the nutrients needed by the body. One of these foods is a snack bar. Snack bars are made to be a reliable source of high quality protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals and usually consumed by dieters for daily consumption or as snacks at certain times. Purple sweet potatoes and bananas are two food ingredients that are easy to get, especially in Indonesia, including Surakarta. These two food ingredients are usually processed for daily use because of their affordable prices, but most of them are traditional foods. This research aims to determine the process of making purple sweet potatoes and bananas into snack bars and find out respondents' opinions regarding this innovative snack bar product. The research methodology uses a qualitative method with an interview approach which is expressed descriptively using a questionnaire. The results of the research stated that the snack bar recipe formula was successful in finding the main raw materials of purple sweet potato and banana which were liked by respondents. The advice given is to improve the texture and durability of the finished snack bar product.

Snack bars are bar-shaped products that contain carbohydrates and proteins from flour, nuts, dried fruits, and other ingredients that are processed into whole pieces and combined into one ready for consumption. Snack bar innovation with the proportion of grated coconut and tuna pindang. The purpose of this research is to meet the nutritional needs of the community by fulfilling daily protein and can be an entrepreneurial product so that it is necessary to know the organoleptic quality, nutritional content and selling price of the product. The methodology in the research is an experimental approach with quantitative analysis to fulfill the sensory quality and nutritional content of snack bars. The best proportion of snack bars with different proportions of grated coconut and pindang ikan tongkol from the sensory test was obtained from the 50:50 ratio with characteristics of rectangular shape; yellowish brown color with white spots from rengginang; grated coconut and pindang ikan tongkol aroma; crunchy texture; and taste of grated coconut and pindang ikan tongkol. Laboratory analysis of the nutritional content of the best snack bar per 100 grams contained 17.15% protein, 11.55% water content, 1.05% ash, 3.14% fat, 284.10kcal/100g energy, 64.72% carbohydrate, and 2.42% crude fiber. The selling price of snack bars with the proportion of grated coconut and tuna pindang with a percs weight of 15 grams is known to be IDR 3,000.  

Snack bar is a stick-shaped snack made from flour, seeds and nuts. This research aims to determine snack bar products made from a mixture of millet flour ad arrowroot flour with the addition of walnuts, including physical properties (L*a*b* color values), chemical properties (water, ash, fat, protein and crude fiber contents), and sensory properties based on hedonic test. This study was experimental using Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with the percentage ratio treatments of millet flour and arrowroot flour consisting of formula S1 ((20%:80%); S2(30%:70%); S3(40%:60%); and S4(50%:50%). The data obtained were processed using the Variance Analysis with a confidence level of 95% (α=0,05), and Duncan’s follow-up test. Snack bars have color values L* 41,660-52,580; color a* 6,6317-9,0667; color b* 19,9017-23,9667. The results of proximate analysis showed that snack bars contains 13,7176-17,8433 of water; 0,8459-1,4455% of ash; 5,8175-7,3264% of protein; 20,5320-24,2649% of fat; 48,7558-50,1120%; and 3,6339-5,1826% of crude fiber. Millet flour increases ash and protein content, but fat and crude fiber content decrease. Based on the hedonic test, it is known that panelists liked the taste and texture of S4 snack bar with an average score 3,94 and 3,68; while for the aroma in the treatment of S3 snack bar with an average score of 3,97 and the color in the treatment of S2 snack bar with an average score of 3,97 (hedonic test scale 1=very dislike, 2=dislike, 3=neutral, 4=like, 5=very like). Snack bars combination 30% millet flour:70% arrowroot flour have the best chemical characteristics (value 1,167) and the best sensory characteristics on snack bars from combination of 50% millet four:50% arrowroot flour (value 0,745) based on the DeGarmo effectiveness index test.

Red bean flour has a high protein content but low gluten content. The superior nutritional value of rice bran is as a nutrient source that contains a lot of protein and high fiber and also does not cause allergies. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of roasting time and the best formulation of the combination of red bean flour and rice bran flour in making snack bars that are rich in protein and favored by many consumers. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) arranged factorially with two factors with the formulation of red bean flour and rice bran flour used were P1 (95:5); P2 (90:10); and P3 (85:15). Roasting time was 50, 40 and 30 minutes. Data analysis used ANOVA with Tukey's further test. The results of chemical and sensory tests significantly influenced the activity of water content, fat content, protein, carbohydrates, color, red bean flavor, bran flavor, hardness and overall liking. However, it was significantly different for ash content, color and overall liking. The best chemical test results were P2T3 (ratio of red bean flour and rice bran flour 90/10 with roasting time of 30 minutes) with the results of carbohydrate 60.74%, protein 10.96%, moisture content 19.01%, fat content 6.79%, and ash content 2.51%. The best sensory test results were P2T3 with color test results 2.98, red bean flavor 2.58, bran flavor 2.32, hardness 1.75, and overall liking 2.77. Snack bars made from red bean flour and rice bran flour have great potential as a high-protein food ingredient.

Snack bars are processed food products that shaped rectangular or like a bar. Snack bar in this study used ingredients of barley flour and mocaf. Barley is a potential ingredient as a source of dietary fiber and gluten-free mocaf can fix the texture of barley. One of the factors that affects the quality of the snack bar is the baking process. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of temperature and baking time on the characteristics of physical, chemical, and sensory of the snack bar, and to determine best formulation of the temperature and baking time of the snack bar. The design applied was a completely randomized design with two factors consisting baking temperature of 130 and 160°C, and baking time of 20 minutes and 40 minutes. The results showed that baking time had a significant effect on the values of a and b, but not significant on the value of L. Baking temperature and time had a significant effect on the level of preference for texture, color, overall and on texture and color on sensory quality. However, it had no significant effect on aroma and taste. The baking temperature had a significant effect on the moisture content, but roasting time had no significant effect. The best snack bar was that baked at 160ºC, 20 minutes. The best formulation of snack bar contains nutrients, water content of 15%, ash of 1.906%, fat 19.447%, protein 21.012%, carbohydrates 42.635%, dietary fiber 11.262% and total calories 429 kcal.
