Serundeng is a complementary food used in the community. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of coconut substitution by coconut pulp on the organoleptic properties and acceptabilities as well as the increasing in iron (Fe) levels. This study was experimental with 5 treatments, P1 (0 gr of coconut pulp), P2 (25 gr of coconut pulp), P3 (50 gr of coconut pulp), P4 (75 gr of coconut pulp), P5 (100 gr of coconut pulp). This study used the ANOVA test and continued with DMRT when there was a significant influence. The results of the hedonic quality test showed that there was an influence of coconut pulp substitution on aspects of color, compactness, taste and aroma. On hedonic tests it is known that there was no significant influence. The iron content of coconut pulp (P5) is 2.75 mg / 100g.
