Synopsis

Avocado (Persea americana Mill) is a fruit that is commonly consumed because of its good taste. Not only fruit but also avocado seeds also have a variety of benefits, one of the active substances in avocado seeds is Omega-3. The polyphenolic compounds used during the manufacture of avocado seed granules with acid and base differences with a ratio of citric acid, tartaric acid, and sodium bicarbonate consumers need an easy way to consume these plants. The purpose of this study developed innovation as food supplements. This study used an experimental method toward different concentrations of avocado seeds: 15 gram (F1), 20 gram (F2), and 32 gram (F3), with three replicates, the comparison of the concentrations of citric acid, tartaric acid, and sodium bicarbonate (1: 2: 3, respectively). The data were obtained by applying the Oneway Anova method with the posthoc test. Based on research and tests that have been carried out include the physical test. Formulation III was the best effervescent granules of avocado seeds, with a water content of 5%; angle of repose 0.44°; flow rate 0.13 g/s; specific gravity 0.53; soluble time 60.3 seconds; and pH 3 (sour taste).
