The best dodol has lightness (L) = 51,83, value of a*= 6,79, value of b*= 6,67, texture 597,70 g/5 mm, water contents about 23 %, dust content about 1,69%, fat contents about6,13 %, protein contents about 11,17 %, rugged fiber content about 1,95 %, and carbohydrat content about 57,74 %. The average of a preference colour, aroma, texture, flavor, and the overall favorite successive result hardness 3,27 ; 3,73 ; 3,60 ; 3,23; 3,77 (preferences value medium up to high).
