Abstract—Food diversification program is becoming more importance to reduce the dependence on rice as a staple food in Indonesia. Simulated Rice Grain (SRG) made of non-rice carbohydrate sources was expected to be a subtitute of rice. SRG was formulated based on nutritional value and physichochemical properties of local Ciherang rice flour as a standard. Goal Linier Programming (GLP) was used as optimization method to formulate SRG using various non-rice carbohydrate sources, including arrowroot starch, canna starch, sago starch, sugar palm starch, beneng taro flour, white sweet potato flour, tapioca flour, white corn flour, sorghum flour and breadfruit flour. Optimization parameter used were nutritional value (protein,fat,amylose,amylopectin,carbohydrate,ash),and physical properties (color index,bulk density and angle of repose).The result showed that optimum composite non-rice carbohydrate sources for SRG (SRG flour) consisted of arrowroot starch (30 percent), beneng taro flour (42 percent) and sorghum flour (28 percent). The optimum SRG flour had a predicted nutritional value of 11.78 percent of moisture, 1.97 percent of ash, 1.32 percent of fat, 6.22 of percent protein, 1.28 percent of food fiber, 1.74 percent of crude fiber, 1.46 percent of total sugar, 22.52 percent of amylose, 63.48 percent of amylopectin, and physical

properties of 39.01 degree of angle of repose, 68.59 percent degree of color, and 446.21 kg/m3 of bulk density. Our results showed that

these predicted nutritional and physical properties value of SRG flour is similar to that of analyzed values.

1 INTRODUCTION

eeting the needs of staple food can be carried out in three ways i.e. farming intensification, land extensifica- tion and product diversification. Intensification is an
effort to maximize land potency by a variety of activities. This condition will certainly reach the optimum point of produc- tion activity both in terms of seed, fertilization, irrigation and land management. Meanwhile, extensification is an effort to meet needs for food by expanding land area. This effort should consider land condition in order to prevent high envi- ronmental risk and cost. Food product diversification is an effort to meet needs for carbohydrate instead from rice.
Indonesia has great potency in terms of carbohydrate sources such as cassava, arrowroot, canna, breadfruit, sweet potato, corn, taro, gembili, suweg, gadung, huwisawu, kimpul, Java potato and sago. With 52 million Ha of forest which man- aged to produce wood, 1,560 million tonnes per year of food stuffs can be produced [1]. Various carbohydrate sources have similar basic component with rice. Thus, they have potency as alternative material sources for rice substituon.
Recently, there is a tendency of decreasing number of rice consumption per capita and increasing number of imported food stuffs such as wheat and increasing number of potatoes

[2]. This shows that food diversification has actually been im- plemented by Indonesian people. However, this program should also consider with Indonesian people psychology which indicates that eating is represented by eating rice. Eat- ing rice gives its own pleasure and not boring so there is a tendency to consume rice continously and in large amount although it is not healthy enough [3].
An effort in making grain-like rice had been introduced in several grain name, ingredients and technology. Artificial rice is made from various flour source by adding certain nutrient and flavor which not contained in rice and then produced using roll-type granulator [4]. Simulated Rice Grain (SRG) had been made through fortification technique using Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate(FSH) through extrusion process [5]. SRG had also been made from rice flour, iron compound and 25% of water using single screw-extruder[6] and addition of micronutrients [7]. In making grain-like rice, extrusion technology had been employed together with rice flour and 30% of starch [8]. Composition of 70% of maize flour and 30% of starch using extrusion process produced good result of analogue rice [9].
A study on composing formula of SRG flour made from
various non-carbohydrate sources is importantly needed to
produce rice grain materials or enriched rice materials.
A process of producing SRG needs optimization process in order to produce simulated rice with close characteristic to rice. The purpose of this research was to determine the opti- mum formula of composite non-rice carbohydrate sources as a material for SRG production.

Those carbohydrate source materials were formulated to be used as material for simulated rice grains (SRG) production (SRG flour). The formula of SRG flour was then optimized using Goal Linear Programming (GLP) [11], [12].
Eq.1 to Eg.3 were developed based on desired physico-
chemical properties, and Eq.4 as objective function was devel- oped based on defined penalty weight which then subjected to minimization. Convert the objective function which subjected to minimization into linear programming program (Eq. 5). The constraint functions were Eq. 6 (protein), Eq. 7 (amylose con- tent), Eq. 8 (color index), Eq. 9 (moisture content), Eq. 10 (ash content), Eq.11 (fat content), Eq. 12 (food fiber), Eq.13 (crude fiber), Eq. 14 (total sugar), Eq. 15 (amylopectin), Eq.16 (angle of repose), Eq. 17 (density) and the minimum requirement of starch flour ratio was 30 percent [8] (Eq.18).

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

3.1 Nutrient Content and Physical Properties of Various

Carbohydrate-based Flours

The analysis result of nutrient content and physical prop- erties of arrow root starch (x1 ), canna starch (x2 ), Benengtaro flour (x3 ), white sweet potato flour (x4 ), tapioca flour (x5 ), white corn flour (x6 ), sago starch (x7 ), sugar palm starch (x8 ), sorghum flour (x9 ), breadfruit flour (x10 ) and Ciherang variety of local rice flour (xst ) that were used as coefficient to formu- late the constraint in GLP is shown in Table 1. The nutrient contens and physical properties values will be used as coefficient to formulate the contraint in GLP.
Eq. 5 could produce SRG flour with have close characteristic of protein and amylose content and whiteness degree to Ciherang rice flour. The desired protein content of SRG was 8.58 percent. This value was difficult to obtain as the protein content of SRG material ranged between 0.69 to 8.38 percent. Therefore, another non-carbohydrate source which have higher protein content should be added. The desired amylose content of SRG was 23.61 percent or lower. This value was in the range of amylose content of the material which ranged between 14.92 to 37.3 percent. The desired whiteness degree of SRG was 92.1 percent. This value was in the range of the whiteness degree of raw materialwhich ranged between
52.1 to 93.6 percent

3.2 Model Execution Process using Linear

Programming

The used of linear programming to solve Eq.5 as objective function and Eq. 6 to 18 as constraint functions produced the optimum value (z) for various penalty weight i.e. W4 (penalty weight for protein), W8 (penalty weight for amylose) and W11
(penalty weight for color index) is shown in Table 2.
With z minimum value of 25.59 percent, it produced optimum composite non-rice carbohydrate sources for SRG with the following composition: 0.66 portion or 30 percent of arrowroot starch, 0.92 portion or 42 percent of Beneng taro flour and 0.61 portion or 28 percent of sorghum flour.

3.3 Nutrient Value and Physical Properties of Optimum

Composite Non-rice Carbohydrate Sources for SRG

Optimum flour for SRG found using GLP (30 percent of ar- rowroot starch, 42 percent of beneng taro flour and 28 percent of Sorghum flour) was analyzed for its nutritional value and physical properties. Predicted nutritional values of flour for SRG obtained from optimization result as compared to that of analyzed values, and flour from Ciherang variety of local rice are shown at Table 3 and Table 4.

3.4 Protein and Amylose Content

The SRG flour optimization with composition of 30 percent of arrowroot starch, 42 percent of beneng taro flour and 28 per- cent of sorghum flour by using Eq.6 and minimum z value produced protein content 6.22 percent. This value was still lower than the desired result i.e. 8.58 percent. This could be due to the protein value of the composite materials (3.40± 3.09) percent with large variance. Some raw materials of the composite flour had higher protein content than rice; however Eq.18 indicated that starch content for lower protein content was set up to 30 percent [8].
The optimum SRG flour has amylose content of 22.52 per-
cent while the standard value was 23.61 percent. The amylose content of SRG flour and Ciherang rice is in medium range [3]. The optimum amylose content of SRG was still in the range of its raw material i.e. (28.01±6.05) percent. The simulation result using penalty weight of amylose content higher than penalty weight of protein and higher or similar to penalty weight of color index produced SRG flour with amylose content 27.86 percent; protein content 2.31 percent and higher color index

+ − i.e. 79.35 percent. The resulted composition was arrowroot

The minimum and maximum value of angle of repose re- sulted from ten materials which were used for optimization were (25.3±4.86) degree and (50.5±1.00) degree with average
number was (39.38±7.80) degree. Optimizing angle of repose was carried out to determine the optimum value of angle of repose of the mixture. This was expected that SRG flour could flow properly when fed into the moulding machine. The op- timum angle of repose was 39.57 degree and testing result was
32.9 degree. The angle of repose of Ciherang rice was 42.85 degree at forming machine. It was higher than the optimiza- tion result or testing result of SRG. This condition made the flow of mixture could have better performance if using the angle of repose of Ciherang rice.
The minimum and maximum values of color index of ten materials were (52.05±0.05) degree and (83.60±0.05) degree
with average number was (73.13±12.03) degree. The color in- dex of flour made by Ciherang rice was (92.10±0.13) percent. Facing this condition, it would be very difficult to meet the
color index standard as the number was out of ranges. The optimum color index of SRG flour was 68.59 degree and la- boratory test result was (59.96±0.04), which were still lower than expected result.
The minimum and maximum density values of ten materi-
als were (367.5±3.07) kg/m3 and (540.85±1.21) kg/m3 with aver- age number was (461.82±57.38) kg/m3. The density of flour made by Ciherang rice was (467.47± 0.209). The optimum density resulted from optimization was 446.21 kg/m3 and la- boratory test result was (455.0±0.00) kg/m3. It was expected that density of SRG flour close to the density value of Ci- herang rice flour.

4 CONCLUSION

Linear Programming method could be used in optimiza- tion process of simulated rice grain production by considering objective function (protein, amylose and color index) and con- straint function. SRG flour formulated using 30 percent of ar- rowroot starch, 42 percent of Beneng taro flour and 28 percent of sorghum flour has similar physicochemical properties to that flour from Ciherang variety of local rice. Future research is still needed to explore various non-rice carbohydrate sources as an effort to produce closer rice physicochemical properties.
