The characteristics of a semprong cake, namely crunchy, sweet and savory, make many people like semprong cakes. Semprong cake has experienced diversification of flavors, but not much has been developed in the diversification of the basic ingredients of semprong cake. In this study, researchers used green beans as a substitute for mung bean flour in making semprong cakes so that they could produce healthy and nutritious traditional snacks. The substitution material for semprong cake in this study was mung bean flour with different compositions, namely 0%, 40%, 50%, and 60%. The reason underlying the researchers chose mung beans as a substitute for mung bean flour for making semprong cakes was in terms of the availability of mung bean raw materials, which are ingredients that are easy to find in the market, have complete nutritional content, have good benefits for health and are liked by the community. Research objectives: (1) To find out the differences in the use of mung bean flour substitute ingredients 0%, 40%, 50%, 60% on the organoletic quality of semprong cakes in terms of color, texture, aroma, and taste, (2) To find out the level of public preference on green bean flour substitute semprong cake 0%, 40%, 50%, 60% in terms of color, aroma, texture, and taste, (3) To determine the nutritional content of green bean flour substitution semprong cake protein 0%, 40%, 50 %, 60%.
