Sweet potato starch processing produces liquid waste and solid waste. Solid waste from sweet potato starch processing contains a high concentration of fiber so that it can be used for making fiber flour, which can be used as material for food fiber fortification in foodstuffs. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of fiber flour derived from the solid waste of purple-fleshed sweet potato (PFSP) starch processing. Starch processing is carried out using 3 different types of extracting ingredients, namely distilled water, 2000 ppm sodium metabisulfite solution, and 2000 ppm citric acid solution. The results showed that the yield of fiber flour produced was 4.07-5.11%. The resulting fiber flour has soluble and insoluble fiber content between 1.20-1.63 and 13.53-21.91% respectively. The results of this study indicate that fiber-rich flour from the solid residue of PFSP starch processing can be used as a fiber fortification agent in special food products for people with obesity.
