Abstract

This study aims to: 1 ) study the effect of kecombrang (Nicolaia speciosa Horan) flower powder on the physical properties consistif of the texture , water holding capacity , and cooking loss meat broiler, 2) knowing the best dose kecombrang (Nicolaia speciosa Horan) flower powder as a preservative broiler meat . Research was conducted on 8 September 2015 in Laboratory Animal Production and Reproduction Univeritas Lampung while for the analysis of physical properties of broiler meat made ​​on 9 September 2015 at the Laboratory of Agricultural Technology , Politeknik Negeri Lampung.  The method used completely randomized design (CRD) , consisting of 4 treatments and 5 replications. Treatments are: 1) P0: 0% kecombrang flower powder rate; 2)  P1: 2 % kecombrang flower powder; 3) P2: 4 % kecombrang flower powder; 4) P3: 6 % kecombrang flower powder.
