Onde-onde premix

Onde-onde is a popular and favourite traditional Malay dessert in Malaysia. The aim of this study was to formulate convenient onde-onde premix with different fillings (palm sugar, milk chocolate and white chocolate). The main ingredients of the premix were glutinous rice flour, pandan powder and rice flour. The premixes and respective fillings were measured and packed until further analysis. Sensory evaluation of different variations of onde-onde made using the premix was performed using the 9-point Hedonic scale to evaluate the sensory attributes such as colour, aroma, flavour, texture, sweetness, and overall acceptability using thirty untrained panellists. Results showed that onde-onde with white chocolate was the most preferred with the highest mean score obtained for the following sensory attributes: flavour, sweetness, and overall acceptability. Onde-onde premix formulated with different fillings is expected to ease consumers in the preparation and ensure preservation of product consistency and authenticity.
