Abstract
Malnutrition in the children below five years of age is still big health
problem that is faced by developing country. Although many activities related to
nutrition improvements have been done by both Indonesia government and nongovernment
institution, Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is found over and over
in Indonesia’s region. Hence, snack food based on fish protein concentrate (FPC)
from patin fish (Pangasius hypothalamus) is one of alternative way to overcome
this problem through health recovery activity and nutrition status and immunity
improvements. Therefore, processing of FPC is well recognized as a protein source
for attempting high protein of raw material food.
The aims of this research in the first year were to determine proper
technology for processing of FPC from patin fish (Pangasius hypothalamus) and to
analyze its nutrition content (proximate and amino acid profile) as a substituted
raw material for high protein street food product that was targeted below fiveyear-
old children. Additionally, the aim was to study storing effect on peroxide and
water content of patin fish (Pangasius hypothalamus) protein concentrate under
aluminum foil, capsule and glass bottle packaging. In the second year of research,
the aims were described as following; 1. to determine processing technology of
snack food products based on Patin fish (Pangasius hypothalamus) protein
concentrate for below five-year-old child. 2. to test the snack food products aimed
to below five-year-old child at Kampar District, Riau.
The results reveal that 10 - 12% of yield and 69.29 – 75.31% of protein
content, respectively, was produced by both methods of processing FPC from patin
fish (Pangasius hypothalamus), while 50% of fat content was decreased
successfully by fat extraction treatment. Steam method was determined as the best
method for processing FPC from patin fish (Pangasius hypothalamus). Patin fish
(Pangasius hypothalamus) protein concentrate in this study was found as a FPC
type B according to proximate content. Based on water content and peroxide
number of patin fish (Pangasius hypothalamus) protein concentrate within 45 days
storing in different packaging, it quality was still below maximum standard of
reject. Finally, aluminum foil was declared as a recommended packaging due to the
produced FPC from Patin fish (Pangasius hypothalamus) was better than other
packages.
