Indonesia is currently experiencing double nutrition problems, both malnutrition and over nutrition. Over nutrition can lead to obesity and degenerative diseases. One solution to overcome this problem is developing high-fiber food products which helps to improve gastrointentestinal function. Sweet potato flour is used as a source of fiber and a source of carbohydrate. Several formulas were designed and those with the highest content of sweet potatoes and acceptance score were further analyzed. Formula 1 has a water content of 14.08%, ash content 7.11%, fat content 0.36%, protein content 7.56%, and carbohydrate content of 71.11%. Cooking loss in F1 was 19.34%. Results of the analysis showed that total phenolic content of F1 has amounted to 27.0 mg GAE/100 g. While the result of total dietary fiber content analysis was 14.65% dw or equal to 12.58% ww. However, the highest acceptance score is in Formula 3. This formula contains moisture content of 13.51%, ash content 7.07%, fat content 0.13%, protein content 9.02%, and carbohydrate content of 70.33%. Cooking loss of this formula was 13.84%. Results of the analysis showed that total phenolic content of F3 was 15.9 mg GAE/100 g. Analysis of dietary fiber content showed 13.32% dw or equal to 11.52% ww. Based on Indonesian regulations, the fiber content of both formulas can be regarded as high fiber dry noodles as in contains no less than 6 g per 100 g.
