Abstract
Jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis L. DC) can be used to
substitute soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) in tempe. Jack bean has a
high protein content, economical and easily breed. This study aimed
to compare the moisture content and protein content in proportion of
jack beans and soybeans 100:0, 0:100, 70:30, 30:70, 90:10, 10:90 and
50:50, and also to determine the concentration ratio of jack beans and
soybeans most preferred by consumers in terms of texture, aroma,
taste and appearance of tempe through organoleptic tests. The

moisture content was measured by gravimetric method, protein
content by Biuret method, and organoleptic by hedonic test. From the
research, data of tempe with a comparison of jack beans and soybeans
are: moisture content ranged between 58,56% - 59,64%, protein
content between 2,37% - 10,32%. The highest moisture content and
protein content is tempe with 0:100 ratio of jack beans and soybeans.
The result of organoleptic test most preferred by consumers in terms
of texture, aroma, taste and appearance of tempe showed panelists
liked tempe with a ratio of jack beans and soybeans 10:90.
Key words: jack bean, soybean, tempe, protein content, organoleptic
test.
