Research Result. The addition of seaweed porridge did not significantly affect the color, flavor, and texture seaweed dodol (p>0.05), but significantly affected the smell of seaweed dodol (p<0.05). Dodol with t3 treatment has a smell that is most preferred by 3.76 scale (rather like approaching the like), and for the parameters of color, flavor and texture in the treatment of t3 in the category rather like approaching like. The addition of seaweed porridge has a significant effect on the iodine content seaweed dodol (p<0.05).

Conclusion. The addition of seaweed porridge did not significantly affect the color, flavor, and texture seaweed  dodol  (p>0.05),  but  significantly affected  the  smell  and  iodine  content  of  seaweed  dodol (p<0.05).
