Abstract. Diversification of patin fish macaroni has the weakness of fish’s dominating flavor, so it requires a variety of flavor fortifications on patin fish macaroni to overcome these problems. This study was aimed to determine the effect of fortification flavors on macaroni catfish (Pangasius hyphophthalmus) on consumer acceptance. The method used is the experiment of making macaroni catfish with cheese, spinach, and barbeque. This study used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments that M0 (control), M1 (cheese 50 grams), M2 (spinach 50 grams), M3 (barbeque 50 grams). The results of this study showed that the addition of three flavor had been varying levels of consumer acceptance, namely for panelists who liked the appearance of M0 63 people (78.75%), flavor 82.56%, odor 86.25%, texture 75%; panelists who liked the appearance of M1 80%, flavor 88.75%, odor 88.75%, texture 73.75%; panelists who liked the appearance of M2 85%, flavor 93.75%, odor 93.75%, texture 76.25%; and M3 that liked the macaroni appearance 80%, flavor 71.25%, odor 61.25%, and texture 75%. The most preferred macaroni by panelists based on the organoleptic test was macaroni with added flavor of spinach (M2), which is characterized by greenish yellow, the odor and flavor of slightly fishy, dominant spinach flavor, and hard texture. The proximate composition of M2 was a water content of 12.24%; protein of 14.67%; fat of 1.42%; crude fiber 0.34%.Keywords: Flavor; fortification; macaroni; patinAbstrak.
