Abstract

Analog rice is one of the solutions that can be developed to overcome the problems of food security both in terms
of the use of a new food source or for diversification of food. The purposes of this study were to determine the
effect of starch as a binder in the manufacture of analog rice and to examine the properties of analog rice in the
termofmoisture content, grains diameter,water absorption, bulk density, and expantion ability. Analog ricewas
performed by using a set of analog rice grain making machine (granulator). Five different compositions of
analog rice weremade and tested. The formulas are pure bananas flour rice (100%banana flour) and mixed of
banana flour and tapioca flour with ratio of 95 : 5, 90 : 10, 85 : 15 and 80 : 20. The results show that the water
content of analog rice is between 10,41%and 13,08%, water absorption range from 36,98%to 64,32%, bulk
density of 0,766 g /cm3 to 0,794 g /cm3, and expantion ability range from5,4%to 14,4%. The addition amount
of the flourmixture causes enlargement of the grain diameter.
Keywords: banana flour, tapioca flour, analog rice, granulator, diversification.
