Abstract :
Background: Black soybean and shrimp shells are contain dietary fiber and
chitosan which is can suppress obesity by reducing weight gain, increasing serum
leptin level, reducing LDL cholesterol level in blood, and correlated with gut
microbiota. The aim of study: To analyze the effect of additional shrimp shells on
macronutrient content and dietary fiber content of black soybean snack bar as an
alternative snack for obese adolescents. Methode: This study used a Completely
Randomized Design (CRD) with two repetitions of the formulation with a ratio of
black soybean and shrimp shells flour; F0 0:0, F1 25:2.5, F2 50:5, F3 75:7.5, and
F4 100:10. The result of the organoleptic test and nutritional content test using the
Kruskall Wallis test and paired sample t-test. Result: The results of organoleptic
test showed that the hedonic test and the hedonic quality test of the snack bar
parameters of color, scent, taste, and texture hedonic quality had a significant effect
(p<0.05), and there was no significant effect on the hedonic texture parameter
(p>0.05). Conclusion: One serving size of black soybean snack bar with the
additional of shrimp shells in selected formula (F1) which is 25 gram can contains
106.49 kcal of energy, 3.99 grams of protein, 3.62 grams of fat, 14.48 grams of
carbohydrates, and 2.42 grams of dietary fiber.
