1).<\/b><\/span> Physical-morphological properties<\/b><\/span> Umbi gadung can be grouped based on the color of the meat tubers, namely white gadung and yellow gadung.<\/span> Examples of white gadung are gadung correct, lime gadung, white gadung, gadung punk, and arintil gadung.<\/span> Examples of yellow rhinoceros are turmeric and rice gadung.<\/span> Gadung arintil is a type of gadung that has the most number of bulbs in each gob.<\/span> Thick one tuber bulbs ranging from 7 – 15 cm and diameter 15 – 25 cm, with a very sharp bulb fiber.<\/span> Yellow yellow is generally larger and denser than white gadung.<\/span> The color of the outer shell is grayish white with yellow tuber meat.<\/span> The outer arintil skin outline is brownish and the color of white umbilical.<\/span> 2).<\/b><\/span> Chemical Properties<\/b><\/span>
\n Have you ever seen a gadung tuber?<\/span> Currently these types of tubers are rather difficult to find.<\/span> In Indonesia, this plant has a name like bitule<\/b> (Gorontalo), gadu<\/b> (Bima), gadung<\/b> (Bali, Java, Madura, Sunda) iwi<\/b> (Sumba), ax<\/b> (Sasak), Salapa<\/b> (Bugis) and sikapa<\/b> (Makassar).<\/span> Umbrella elliptical bulb with sides that are almost parallel or widened against the peak, while the extent narrows around the base.<\/span> Umbi gadung that is ripe brown or brownish yellow, fluffy with a length of about 5-6 cm.<\/span>

\n Umbi gadung contains carbohydrates, fats, crude fiber and lower ash compared with cassava.<\/span> Water content and protein gadung gadung higher than cassava.<\/span> Umbi gadung contains phosphor (P2O5) as much as 0.09%, calcium (CaO) 0.07 &, iron (Fe2O3) 0.003%.<\/span> The chemical composition of the gadung tubers can be seen in Table 2.13.<\/span><\/p>\n
