Enteral feeding is one solution to meet the nutritional needs of patients who experience decreased appetite, patients with difficulty swallowing or patients with decreased consciousness. COPD is characterized by chronic narrowing of the airways that causes dyspnea, chronic cough, shortness of breath, and increased phlegm production (Studi et al. 2025). In a study by Feirreira, et al., stated that foods high in carbohydrates are associated with increased CO2 production. Therefore, things that must be considered in regulating the diet in COPD patients are that energy consumption from carbohydrates needs to be reduced and fat sources are increased. That is the principle for developing this high-fat enteral food (Annisa Salsabila Mahanani 2021) This study is an experimental study using a post-test group design with 3 avocado substitution treatments to increase the nutritional value of fat (Formula 1, 2, and 3). provided product samples to 35 respondents, employees of the UPT RSUD Massenrempulu Enrekang for organoleptic testing. The results of the Kruskall Wallis test stated that there was no significant difference in the acceptability of each formula (p>0.05). The most preferred formula is formula 3 with a ratio of 50g avocado and sweet orange: 50g. The results of this developed formula produce a light greenish white color, a distinctive aroma of a mixture of milk aroma with the fragrance of avocado and sweet orange, with a liquid texture and a delicious and savory taste that is slightly sweet. The nutritional content of one portion of formula 3 contains 416.75 kcal of energy, 11.86g of protein, 18.5g of fat, and 50.05g of KH
