Based on the results of Friedman test acceptability flavor and color have a p value> α (005) so bereft of significant differences between addition of various proportion of red bean flour with flavor and color acceptance in the banana blossom meatballs. Acceptance of smell and texture has p value <α (0.05) has particularly significant difference between addition of various proportion of red bean flour with flavor and color acceptance in the banana blossom meatballs.
