Keywords:
Food Toddler Alternative, Stunting, DangkeAbstract
Stunting is a condition of impaired growth due to a long-term deficiency of nutrients, particularly energy and protein, characterized by a height that is below the standard for age. The selection of diverse and appropriate food ingredients is a crucial factor in meeting the nutritional needs of toddlers to support optimal growth and development. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptability of chicken tofu roulade with the substitution of dangke (a traditional cheese-like product) and carrots. The research was a pre-experimental study using a post-test only group design, involving 38 panelists , who were employees of the UPT RSUD Massenrempulu Enrekang . The Kruskal- Wallis test showed that there was no significant difference in the acceptability among the different roulade formulas (p > 0.05). The most preferred formula was Formula 123, which contained 150 grams of dangke and 50 grams of carrot. This formula was characterized by a pale yellowish-white color , a savory taste with a milky aroma, and a soft yet chewy texture. The nutritional content per 75-gram serving of Formula 123 was: Protein: 9.31 grams, Zinc (Zn): 4.53 mg.
