Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of Eucheuma spinosum carrageenan flour on the chemical quality and sensory acceptance of milkfish nuggets. A completely randomized design with four carrageenan levels (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) and two replications was applied from January to April 2024 at Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Pangkajene Kepulauan. Moisture, protein, and fiber contents were analyzed, followed by sensory tests of aroma, taste, and texture. Increasing carrageenan reduced moisture content and increased fiber content. The 15% treatment produced the highest fiber level, whereas the 5% treatment showed the best sensory acceptance among the carrageenan formulations. Therefore, 5% carrageenan is recommended as the most balanced formulation in terms of product quality and consumer preference
