Abstract

Gadung tubers or Dioscorea hispida are tubers that originally grew in the forest and are used as alternative food ingredients to replace rice and corn. One of the preparations from gadung tubers that is popular with the community is gadung tuber crackers. Before being processed into food, gadung tubers must be processed properly so that the cyanide content is reduced. Cyanide is a goitrogenic substance that is naturally found in foodstuffs.
