The study explores the use of spirulina algae in the production of crackers and instant noodles. Spirulina, a blue-green algae rich in protein, vitamins, phytoepigamates, antioxidants, and minerals, was found to increase protein ratio, ash content, and improve physical and cooking properties. The addition of 20% spirulina algae had lower scores for most properties compared to other tested products. This suggests spirulina algae could be used to improve nutritional status in children's food Production and evaluation crackers and instant noodles supplement with spirulina algae
