Packaging of food is very important to protect food from damage. Nearly all food packaging materials was made from plastic which is not environmentally friendly. Concern for the environment is causing the expansion of research on edible packaging. One type of edible packaging is edible film . Edible film is one of the alternative food packaging which is environmentally friendly and can be eaten as using renewable materials. One of the components of edible films is polysacharide (carbohidrate). Straw is the part of jackfruit that unutilized, the jackfruit straw flour consists of 71,53% carbohydrate. The aim of this research was to identify the consumer acceptance of edible film based on the jackfruit straw flour. Consumer acceptance analysis was done with brainstorming and hedonic test (organoleptic). Product attributes that was tested are the shape, color, texture, strength, flavor, aroma, and environmentally friendly with standard products plastic packaging in cereal drinks. A hedonic analysis of experimental data was processing using spider diagram and t test. If the results of the analysis of variance H0 (there is no significant difference between the quality attributes of edible film packaging and plastic packaging) was received that mean edible film products can be accepted by consumers, where if H0 (there is no significant difference between the quality attributes of edible film packaging and plastic packaging) was refused that means edible film product can not be accepted by consumers. The results of this study of consumer acceptance of the edible film based onthe jackfruit straw flour as a material packaging cereal powder was not accepted as a whole. Attributes derived from edible film packaging material just flavor, texture, and environmentally friendly. Cereal packaging from plastic packaging was more acceptable than edible film, t test results showed that the average value of the two differ significantly. This indicates that the jackfruit straw flour edible film was not yet received by consumer
