Background: Supplementary food can enrich the nutritional value of food that will be consumedby children. Existing supplementary food is considered less than optimal because the basic sourceof ingredients is carbohydrates, while at the age of toddlers there is an increased need for proteinand minerals to support growth and development. Protein sources that have high bioavailabilitycome from animals. Objective: This study aimed to develop supplementary food for toddlers madefrom chicken liver and catfish into Tiale Floss. Methods: The study design was true experimentalwith two repetitions of Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatment factor in makingTiale Floss was the ratio of chicken liver and catfish flesh. There are 4 treatment levels, namelyF1 = 200:0; F2 = 150:50; F3 = 100:100; F4 = 50:150. The hedonic test was used to see theacceptance level of 30 semi-trained panelists for Abon Tiale. The data analysis used wasdescriptive and inferential (One Way ANOVA and Duncan's test) with a confidence level of 95%.Results: The four formulations of Abon Tiale made from chicken liver and catfish flesh differed ineach attribute of color (p=0.000), taste (p=0.005), aroma (p=0.001), texture (p=0.000). The bestformula based on the results of the panelists' assessment was formula F3 (50:150). Conclusion:The use of chicken by-products such as chicken liver has the potential to become a supplementaryfood for children under five in order to prevent nutritional problems. The addition of catfish meatto floss can increase acceptance in terms of color, aroma, taste and texture.
