Abstract :
Stunting is a condition where the toddler's height which is too low based on age is
below -2 standard deviations from the nutritional status table. The prevalence of
stunting decreased from 2018 to 2020. However, even though the prevalence of
stunting in Indonesia was still above the limit set by the WHO for the problem of
stunting under five, it was less than 20%. Therefore, one of the efforts to prevent
stunting is to provide additional nutritional intake in the form of snacks with adequate
nutrients. This study aims to determine the protein content and characteristics of
cookies substituted with soy flour and coconut pulp flour as a snack for stunted
children. The experimental design used in this study was a completely randomized
design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 4 repetitions, namely P1 (97%:3%), P2
(94%:6%), P3 (91%:9%), P4 ( 88%:12%), P5 (85%:15%), and P6 (82%:18%). The
analysis used is protein content and organoleptic. The results of the research on
soybean flour cookies and coconut pulp flour had a significant effect (P <0.05) on
protein content, hedonic quality parameters of color, taste, and aroma as well as
hedonic tests on color, taste, aroma, and texture. However, it had no significant effect
(P>0.05) on the hedonic quality of the texture. The best treatment was P3 treatment
with the addition of 91% soybean flour and 9% coconut pulp flour which was liked
by the panelists and liked by all panelists of toddlers. The recommended serving of
cookies in one consumption for toddlers 4-6 years is 4 pieces (20 grams) with an
energy content of 97.5 kcal, protein 4.1 grams, fat 5.3 grams, and carbohydrates 8.1
grams
