Protein-energy malnutrition still becomes a problem in the world and Indonesia. The enteral formula is needed process of fulfilling overall nutrition form liquid diet malnourished patients to digest absorb nutrients without any difficulties. Amino acid lysine, methionine, cysteine, threonine, tryptophan are often deficits children's food; even, children (stunting, wasting, or protein-energy malnutrition) have decreased amino acids. Tempeh gembus, fermented local food, used as main ingredient for formula, hydrolysate carried out made into flour, resulting more acids due protein breakdown. making from food fermentation aims enable community optimize nutritious so that it can be produced at household scale. Other supplementary ingredients isolated soy protein, pumpkin maltodextrin, sugar, soybean oil. isocaloric isoprotein; divided two with different compositions gembus flour. This study determine content acids, limiting formula. analysis was performed using HPLC method. glutamate has highest formulas A B (2,080 mg.100g-1and 1,950 mg.100g-1). total higher than difference 210 mg.100g-1. Enteral average (1,400 mg.100g-1) (1,378 mg.100g-1), there no significant (p = 0.812) between them. content, but B. methionine fulfill needs an alternative Children PEM.
