Development of Analog Rice Made from Cassava and Banana with the Addition of Katuk Leaf (Sauropus androgynous L. Merr.) and Soy Lecithin for Lactating Women

“…The increase in the phytosterol levels contained in the analog rice was potentially caused by the addition of Katuk leaf powder. Katuk leaf powder contains 2433.4 mg/100 g dry of phytosterol [105], which contributes to the sterol and stigmasterol levels in analog rice. In this study, the greater the addition of soy lecithin, the higher the sitosterol content of the analog rice obtained, ranging from 1.50 to 1.37%, with a ratio of 80%:20% as the highest.…”
