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.

Pukis cake is a typical Indonesian wet cake with the basic ingredients of wheat flour. The low consumption of local food ingredients by the community, it is necessary to make pukis cakes by utilizing local food ingredients. Wheat can be replaced with local foodstuffs that have a high starch such as purple sweet potato and taro potato. This problem is the aim of this study to determine the sensory quality of purple sweet potato puree pukis cake and taro sweet potato puree which includes color, shape, aroma, texture, taste. Knowing the nutritional and non-nutritional content which includes antioxidants, protein, fat, carbohydrates, ash, and vitamin C, laboratory tests are carried out, and material costs are calculated. Data collection uses the observation method through sensory tests. The result data were processed with the Anova test followed by the Duncan test. The results showed: 1)The sensory quality of purple sweet potato puree pukis and taro sweet potato puree produced products categorized as good (40%:20%). 2)The nutritional and non-nutritional contents of the product are Antioxidants 8.16%, Protein 6.15%, Fat 3.10%, Carbohydrates 56.01%, Ash 1.39% and Vitamin C 16.88 mg. 3) The material cost of purple sweet potato puree pukis cake and taro pure potato cake is known to be IDR 30,920. Research conclusions 1)The product is expressed well in color, aroma, texture, taste. 2)The use of local food ingredients has an effect on adding product nutrition. 3)The cost of making the product is IDR 30,920.

Kue pukis merupakan kue tradisional Indonesia. Tepung tiwul memiliki potensi untuk dijadikan bahan dalam pembuatan kue yang aman dikonsumsi penderita celiac dan autisme. Bahan baku lokal seperti tepung kacang hijau dan wortel yang kaya akan serat dapat memenuhi kebutuhan serat dalam tubuh. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menentukan karakteristik fisikokimia dan sensori pukis bebas gluten dari tepung tiwul dan tepung kacang hijau dengan penambahan puree wortel serta menentukan formulasi pukis bebas gluten yang paling disukai konsumen. Rancanganlpercobaan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan faktor penambahan puree wortel serta  perbandingan tepung tiwul dan tepung kacang hijau. Hasil penelitian formulasi pukis bebas gluten terbaik berdasarkan kandungan tinggi serat pangan adalah formulasi puree wortel 25% : tepung tiwul 18,75% : tepung kacang hijau 56,25% dengan kadar air 26,75%, kadar abu 1,20%, kadar lemak 15,37%, kadar protein 10,45%, kadar serat pangan 7,94%, kadar karbohidrat by different 46,23% dan kadar β-karoten 10,88 µg/g. Nilai sensoris perlakuan ini yaitu warna 3,33 (warna semakin coklat), flavor tepung tiwul 2,53 (flavor tepung tiwul semakin terasa), flavor tepung kacang hijau 3,10 (flavor tepung kacang hijau semakin terasa), flavor wortel 2,70 (flavor wortel semakin terasa), tekstur empuk 3,63 (tekstur semakin empuk), dan kesukaan keseluruhan 3,73 (pukis disukai secara keseluruhan). Pukis dengan bahan baku tiwul, kacang hijau dan wortel dapat menjadi alternatif makanan tradisional yang memiliki tinggi serat dan beta karoten.
