AbstrakNori merupakan makanan tradisional Jepang yang terbuat dari alga merah Phorphyra dengan pasar yang sangat besar. Phorphyra memiliki aspek ekofisiologis budidaya yang paling sukses, namun pengembangan hanya di Asia Timur yang beriklim subtropis. Edible film berbasis material polimer protein myofibrillar merupakan inovasi yang dapat dikembangkan untuk mengantisipasi kebutuhan nori dunia, selain karakteristik khas nori dan edible film yang memungkinkan dapat dikembangkan sebagai produk lembaran. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengembangkan formulasi nori imitasi lembaran berkonsepkan edible film berbasis protein myofibrillar ikan nila. Protein myofibrillar ikan nila dengan konsentrasi 28% (b/v), 30% (b/v) dan 32% (b/v) dihomogenisasi dengan 3 mL NaOH 1M (pH 11), gliserol 10% (plasticizer), dan larutan daun suji, dilanjutkan pencetakan, pengeringan dan pengasapan (hot smoking). Konsentrasi yang digunakan memberikan pengaruh terhadap ketebalan, kekerasan/kerenyahan, kadar protein, lemak, abu, air, serat pangan dan kalium, namun tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap kuat tarik. Nori imitasi lembaran dengan bahan dasar protein myofibrillar ikan nila telah sesuai dengan nori komersial pada konsentrasi 28% (b/v).

AbstractNori is a traditional japanese food made from sea algae Phorphyra with a very large market demand. Phorphyra have ecophysiological aspects of the cultivation of the most successful, but only on the development of the East Asian subtropical climates. Edible film based polymer material of myofibrillar proteins is innovation can be developedto anticipate of those needs. Typical characteristics of nori and the availability of edible film, making the development of nori sheet imitation is possibly to be conducted. The purpose of the research was to developed formulations imitation nori sheet with the idea myofibrillar protein-based edible film of tilapia. Homogenisation myofibrillar proteins of tilapia concentration of 28% (w/v), 30% (w/v) and 32% (w/v) was performed with 3 ml of 1M NaOH (pH 11), 10% glycerol (plasticizer), and leaves suji solution, continued by casting, drying and hot smoking. Various concentrations were used and significantly gave effect to the thickness, hardness/fracturability or brittleness, content of protein, fat, ash, water, dietary fiber and potassium, but not for the tensile strength of the nori sheet imitation. Nori sheet imitation based on myofibrillar proteins of tilapia that characteristically almost equal with commercial nori is a concentration of 28% (w/v).Keywords: Edible film, myofibrillar protein, nori, tilapia
