For increasing the acceptance of PURULA, it is necessary to develop PURULA flavor variants. Observation variables for hedonic test analysis included a taste of the PURULA of each treatment to determine the PURULA product most favored by the panelists. This test used 54 semi-trained panelists from Lebak, Banten, and 43 semi-trained panelists from Maros, South Sulawesi. Data analyzed non-parametric using Kruskal Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test to examine differences with a p-value less than 0.05 (p<0.05) set as the significance limit. The most preferred flavor by girl adolescents in the hedonic test in Lebak was corn flavor. Meanwhile, the most preferred flavors by girl adolescents in the hedonic test in Maros were garlic and corn flavors.
