oa added that the advantages of GALLUS ABON
S
are that it can meet the meat needs of the Indonesian people since it is made from pure chicken meat, processed with SHEH principles (Safe, Healthy, Excellent, and Halal), has several avors and seasonings with special compositions, and has longer shelf life by its packaging using food grade quality packaging, vacuum press and zip lock, so it can avoid damage such as rancidity.“I am optimistic that GALLUS ABON can become an identical Malang souvenir and immediately complete licensing and others, so that it can be commercialized through the national and ASEAN markets,” said Dr. Agus Susilo, S.Pt., MP., IPM., ASEAN Eng, as the team companion lecturer.

formation of small pieces into whole meat with the addition of binder, thickener, and ller so that quality meatballs are produced in terms of texture, high water binding capacity, low cooking loss, containing SNI standard nutrition and organoleptic quality.Ir. Aris Sri Widati, MS, a lecturer from the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Universitas Brawijaya (Fapet UB) revealed that the quality of meatballs in general is inuenced by the formulation of the ingredients, the production process, and their storage. While the chewiness is inuenced by the main raw material, namely meat, which is a source of myobrils protein and other additives that can form a gel.
He expressed the opinion in his nal research dissertation entitled “The Role of Seaweed Flour (Eucheuma cottonii) and Its Interaction with Salt (NaCl) and Tapioca Flour on the Quality of Meat and Meatball Protein Gel.” Aris is recorded as a student of the Postgraduate Doctoral Program at Fapet UB and has taken an online dissertation exam, Monday (23/11/2020).
According to him, seaweed is included in the red algae class which contains kappa carrageenan, which can act as a chewer, stabilizer, water-binding agent in making meatballs.
Beside that, seaweed has a high soluble ber content. When it is consumed it, will reduce cholesterol levels, regulate blood sugar levels, prevent colon cancer, and lose weight.
Meanwhile, tapioca our which contains amylose and amylopectin has a role in starch gelatinization. Namely the development of starch, especially in amylose and trapping of water in the starch gel, which will affect the texture of the meatballs, so that tapioca is suitable to be made as a ller.
Then the function of NaCl salt in addition to preserving meat, it can also improve the taste and texture of meat products. And can signicantly increase myobril protein, which is protein dissolved in salt, composed of myosin and actin proteins play an important role in the ability to form three-dimensional gel on heating and determine the texture of processed meat.
The study was divided into four stages, including (1) fractionation of beef myobril protein with natrium chloride (NaCl) salt, (2) the interaction of salt-soluble beef protein at different NaCl
