The objectives of this research were both to know as well as to determine the exact concentration of lemongrass water extract applied during storage on the quality of tofu. A complete randomized experimental design with two factor of treatments was utilized. The first factor was concentration of lemongrass water extract with 3 levels of treatmens, i.e : T1 : 1 kg of lemongrass : 2 L of water, T2 : 1 kg of lemongrass : 3 L of water, T3 : 1 kg of lemongrass : 4 L of water. Whereas the second factor was the storage time, i.e : L0 : 0 day, L1 : 2 day and L3 : 4 day. Variables observed including chemical, and microbial. They consit of protein, moisture, TPC, and Salmonella. Results showed that lemongrass water extract with the concentration of 1 : 4 stored for 4 day had high protein and moisture, content which were 15.4%, and 74.37%, respectively results from microbial test showed that microbial growth was suspressed by the treatments and the content were still in the range set by Indonesian National Standard Agency.
