Analisis Penerimaan Yoghurt Sari Almond dengan Penambahan Kurma

The purpose of this study was to determine the acceptance of almond extract yoghurt mixed with dates. This research was divided into 3 stages. The first stage included preparing ingredients and equipment and preparing formulas for almond extract yoghurt with dates. The second stage involved adding dates into almond extract yoghurt. The third stage was the implementation of the hedonic test and the ranking test. The percentage of adding dates in the production of almond extract yoghurt was as much as 10, 20, and 30% of the weight of the almond extract, respectively. Thirty (30) untrained panelists participated in the hedonic and rating tests. The nonparametric analysis Kruskal Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney further test were used to examine the data. The Kruskal Wallis test showed significant differences in taste, aroma, texture, and color between almond extract yoghurt with dates. The Mann-Whitney test showed that the taste, aroma, viscosity, and color of almond extract yoghurt with the addition of dates as much as 10% were significantly different from 20% and 30%. It can be concluded that the addition of dates can increase the acceptance of the taste, aroma, viscosity, and color of almond extract yoghurt.
