ABSTRACT
Porang flour is simple dry product which it produced from Amorphophallus oncophyllus
species. It has better shelf life than fresh porang tuber, so it has a higher economic value. Porang
flour consist of hydrocolloidpolysaccharide such as glucomannan, which it has ability to use as
gelling agent, thickener, film former and emulsifier. Generally, porang flour has a high consist of
ca-oxalate, low consist of glucomannan , and dark colour. Ethanol leaching process is needed to
increase quality of porang flour to produce flour with highly glucomannan content and the best
physic and chemist properties. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) used in this research with
2 factor. First factor was leaching stage, which is consist of 3 level, stage 1 with ethanol 40%,
stage 2 with ethanol 40% and 60%, and stage 3 with ethanol 40%, 60%, and 80%. Second factor
was contact time with 3 level, 2, 3, and 4 hours. The best treatment was washing stage 3 with 4
hours time contact, which it has 81.72% glucomannan content; 0.19% ca-oxalate content; 7400
cPs viscosity; and 49.45 Lightness value.
