Abstract

Dodol is one of a traditional food in Indonesia, One of the combinations of healthy products with dodol in supporting for nutritous food ingredients with addtitions of seaweed, can be categorized as a healthy and safe food product for consumpsion by consumers. Chocolate seaweed Dodol is processed using basic ingredients such as Sargassum sp seaweed and additives such as sugar, flour, coconut milk, salt, and other additives as well. This study was aimed to study the effect of different ratios of carrageenan to citosan for edible coating on proximate analysis of chocolate seaweed Dodol. The method used in this research is to use a simple complete random design with 5 level treatment of different ratio of carrageenan to chitosan, that; A (100%:0%), B (75%:25), C (50%:50%), D (25%:75%) dan E (0%:100%). The proximate analysis showed that no significant difference for moisture content. The moisture content ranges 17.62 - 18.67%, protein content 4.68 - 12.35%, fat content 0.41 - 0.53%, ash content 1.13 - 1.41% and carbohydrate composition ranges 68.41-74.94%.
