THE EFFECT OF ADDING SECTION AND LEVEL OF DIFFERENT BANANA HEART ON THE ORGANOLEPTIC QUALITIES OF BEEF SAUSAGE

This study aims to determine the effect of adding parts of different level banana heart and the interaction between parts of different level banana to the organoleptic quality of beef sausages. The study design was completely randomized factorial 3 x 3. Factors A banana is a part where the A1 (the inside of the banana white), A2 (the outside of the heart of the banana light purple), and A3 (a mixture of the inner and outer parts banana heart). Factor B is the level where the addition of banana B1 (0%), B2 (15%), and B3 (30%). Parameters measured were the level of resilience, color, aroma, taste and preference. The research result of addition of a section banana heart at different levels indicate that there are highly significant effect on the elasticity, color, aroma, taste and preferences of beef sausage with the average value of 2,804, which means a bit chewy, 2.767 indicates that the sausages brown, 2.433 which shows sausage savoury aroma, which shows the value 2,352 sausages taste bad, 2, 815 which shows the value of rather like. Based on the results of this study concluded that the addition of banana heart mixture of the inner and outer generate resilience, aroma, and taste of the sausages were better than those just added to the inside or the outside only. Additions to the level of 30% better than the addition of 15% and without the addition (0%). Interaction factor and level parts of banana heart showed a different response at the level of resilience, color, aroma, taste and preference of beef sausag
