Moringa plants have high nutritional content, especially in the leaves, so they have benefits for human health. Various innovations in food processing technology utilize moringa not only as a vegetable but can be processed into various forms of processed food, one of which is dimsum. Dimsum based on moringa leaf flour is a new food product where moringa leaves have a role as fortification to fulfill nutrition in food. Based on the description, this study was conducted to determine the effect of moringa leaf flour substitution (5%, 10%, 15%) on the quality and sensory properties of dim sum. This study used a research design model used was an experimental with a completely randomized design (CRD) of one factor, namely the formulation of moringa leaf flour with 3 replications. The treatment in this study was the substitution of moringa leaf flour and tapioca flour with a formulation of 5%:95% (D132), 10%:90% (D231), and 15:85% (D213). The analysis included organoleptic testing with hedonic tests by 20 untrained panelists and proximate testing. The best sensory test results for 5% moringa leaf flour substitution had a significant effect on the sensory evaluation assessment of appearance 3,73 , flavor 3,45 , aroma 3,68 and texture 3,65. The proximate test results for 5% moringa leaf flour substitution obtained a protein value of 12.69%, fat 1.32%, ash content 1.2%, moisture content 66,11% and carbohydrate 18.68%
