The effect of the addition of Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) on the formulation of batters on Coating Pick up and Frying Loss fried battered Tempeh

One of the fried food processed products that are often found in roadside fried sellers is tempeh. This study aims to study the effect of CMC addition on the results of coating pick-up dan frying loss of fried battered tempeh.
