| Summary: | This study is part of national project to update Malaysian Food Composition
Database focuses on the data from Eastern region of the Peninsular Malaysia. The
justification of the present study was to provide the knowledge on food composition
data from selected traditional wheat-based Malaysian kuih. The objective of the
present study was to determine the proximate composition of 10 selected traditional
wheat-based Malaysian kuih in East Coast of Malaysia. A total number of 10 selected traditional wheat-based Malaysian kuih were sampled from the local restaurants and stalls within Kota Bharu city, Kelantan. The types of kuih chosen in
the study were Apam Seri Ayu, Bahulu Kemboja, Kek Pisang, Cucur Bawang,
Karipap Sardin, Cara Berlauk, Cara Manis, Pau Goreng/Sambal, Lepat Labu and
Roti Jala. The nutrients analyzed include energy, moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrate
and ash. The sampling plans used were following standard methods from the
protocol for sampling and method of analysis for Malaysian Food Composition
Database (FCD). The results of the study were tabulated and expressed as per 100 g
edible portion. The ranges of energy in traditional wheat-based Malaysian kuih were
147 kcal to 464 kcal. Meanwhile, the range mean values of water content were 21.7 g
to 63.0 g. For protein and fat content, the range mean values were 6.3 g to 17.6 and
1.2 g to 32.1 g, respectively. In addition, the range mean values of carbohydrate and
ash were 9.7 g to 46.6 g and 0.9 g to 2.5 g, respectively. In summary, Cara Berlauk
are good choice of kuih that providing the lowest level in energy, carbohydrate and
fat while having the highest level in moisture, protein and also comparable value of
ash content. Thus, it could be recommended to be consumed by those who are concern about their dietary intake. |
