This type of research is an experimental design. Observations made include hedonic tests using 30 fairly trained panelists. The selected enteral formula is formula 3 with a ratio of egg white flour and pumpkin flour formulations of 60%:40% with an average rating of 5.3. Based on the Kruskall Wallis test on the aspects of taste, aroma, and consistency, there are differences between formulas 1, 2 and 3 indicated by a p-value <α 0.05. While in the aspects of color and consistency there is no difference between formulas 1, 2 and 3 indicated by a p-value> α 0.05.
