Testing of nutritional content of lamb meat nuggets with the use of moringa leaves

Abstrak

This research aimed to determine the effect of adding Moringa oleifera leaves  on the nutritional value of lamb nuggets. Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) is a tropical plant that can quickly grow in low areas such as North Sumatra. This plant contains anticancer and antioxidants, which can be used as a natural ingredient to maintain and improve the quality of lamb nuggets. In this research, Moringa leaves and lamb were processed into nuggets. This research used an experimental method with a completely randomised design with 4 treatments and 4 replications. This research showed that adding Moringa leaves showed a very significant difference (P<0.01) in the water content, pH value and total bacterial colony test.
