The purpose of this study was to determine the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of biscuits mixed with purple sweet potato flour and coconut pulp flour. The research method used was a completely randomized design (RAL) consisting of 5 treatments by mixing wheat flour, purple sweet potato flour and coconut dregs flour, namely A: (100%: 0%: 0%), B: (30%: 30%: 40), C: (30%: 40%:30%), D: (30%:50%:20%) and E: (30%: 60%:10%). The results showed that the physicochemical characteristics of biscuits were water content ranging from 2.37% - 5.75%, ash content 2.15% - 3.29%, fat content 25.03% - 31.05%, protein content 5.76% - 7.20%, carbohydrate content 54.51% - 60.33%, fiber crude 1.54%- 4.36% , calories 493.55-525.47 Kcal and hardness 579.78- 893.80 g.sec. The most preferred biscuit sensory test was treatment D by mixing 30% wheat flour: 50% purple sweet potato flour :20% coconut dregs flour with a taste value of 4.73 (slightly like), color 5.77 (like), aroma 5.67 (like) and textures 5.7 (like). Keywords: biscuit, purple sweet potato flour, coconut pulp flour.
