INOVASI CAMILAN SEHAT BEBAS GLUTEN DAN AMAN KONSUMSI SEMUA KALANGAN “BLACKOUT CHIPS”

Abstract

Snacks have become an integral part of the modern diet, but they often contain unhealthy or allergenic ingredients, such as gluten. Individuals with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or who choose a gluten-free lifestyle, need safe and nutritious snack alternatives. This paper examines innovations in the development of healthy gluten-free snacks that are formulated to be safe for consumption by all groups, including groups with special dietary needs. This study aims to develop a snack formulation based on local gluten-free raw materials, evaluate its nutritional profile, and test its sensory acceptability and consumption safety. The research method involves the development of several formulations, proximate analysis, microbiological testing, and sensory evaluation. Initial results indicate that the developed snack has good nutritional content, texture and taste acceptable to consumers, and meets food safety standards. This innovation is expected to fill the market gap and support a healthy lifestyle for the wider community.
