Recently, the development of tempeh by blending different legumes\u0000has gained more attention, but references are limited. This study aimed to develop tempeh\u0000combinations of soybean with chickpeas and red kidney beans. The physical\u0000characteristics of the tempeh samples were recorded, and their nutritional compositions\u0000were determined in accordance with the standard AOAC methods. A sensory evaluation\u0000was also conducted by using the hedonic 9-scale test to study the overall acceptance of the\u0000tempeh. Our results indicated that the soybean and chickpea tempeh combination\u0000contained 31.08±0.41% protein, 9.88±1.42% fat, 16.57±1.90% carbohydrates,\u000013.49±0.03% crude fibre, 4.40±0.02% dietary fibre, 39.91±0.23% moisture, and\u00002.57±0.21% ash content per 100 g. Meanwhile, the soybean and red kidney bean tempeh\u0000combination had 30.39±0.12% protein, 9.43±1.02% fat, 13.31±0.78% carbohydrates,\u000011.88±0.03% crude fibre, 2.50±0.02% dietary fibre, 44.17±0.03% moisture, and\u00002.70±0.26% ash content per 100 g. Both mixed bean tempeh samples demonstrated high\u0000nutritional value. However, the sensory evaluation showed that the soybean and red\u0000kidney bean tempeh combination was preferred by most panellists due to its appearance,\u0000texture, taste, and aroma, with the highest overall acceptance score (7.54±0.85). In\u0000conclusion, our study highlights the potential of blending soybean with chickpeas and red\u0000kidney beans to develop tempeh with a high nutritional value. These findings could have\u0000significant implications for developing plant-based meat substitutes with desirable\u0000nutritional and sensory properties.","PeriodicalId":12410,"journal":{"name":"Food Research","volume":"9 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140227458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
