Some studies have been done, and it was found that the acceptance value of tempeh based beverages can be increased with the incoporation of red rice. This research was aimed to find the best ratio of tempeh to red rice and fermentation time for tempeh-red rice based yogurt that is acceptable to the panelist.

The result showed that from all combination of tempeh to red rice ratio (0:100/ 20:80/ 40:60/ 60:40/ 80:20/ 100:0) and fermentation time (6/ 9/ 12hours), tempeh-red rice based yogurt with 20:80 ratio and 9 hours fermentation time obtained the highest acceptability from panelist, which its pH value, % total tirtatable acidity, and total lactic acid bacteria were in range of requirement for yogurt based on SNI 2981:2009.
