Kinetika Pertumbuhan Mikrobia dan Kemunduran Mutu Bakso Berpelapis Edible Aktif Berbasis Pati Kimpul (Xanthosoma Sagittifolium) pada Berbagai Ketebalan

Quality deterioration of food material with active edible coated depends on product properties, environment andproperties of coating. Properties of coating are influenced by the type and amount of the basic constituent materials, plasticizers, and active coating ingredient. The objective of this research was to determine the kinetics of microbial growth, and quality deterioration of X. sagittifolium starch-based coated meatball with various thicknesses. The treatments tested in this study were thickness of edible coatings (0.43; 0.48; 0.53; 0.58 mm). Observation parameters were the number of microbes (total microbial, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), protein content, TVB-N, water losses, and texture. The results showed that active edible coatings thickness significantly affected of microbes number, and TVB-N, but did not affect protein content, water losses, and meatball texture. Microbial growth (TPC and P. aeruginosa) changed exponentially with the rate of increase of 0.049 to 0.055 per hour for TPC and from 0.071 to 0.075 per hour for P. aeruginosa or 0.026 per mm.hour times the thickness. TVB-N content changed linearly with the rate of increase of 0.132 to 0.153 mg/100g.hour or 0.206 mg/100g.mm.hour times the thickness. X. sagittifolium starch-based active edible coating with potassium sorbate as active ingredient and 0.43 mm coating thickness could prolong meatball shelf life up to 4 times longer than control

Sifat Fisik, Mekanik dan Barrier Edible Film Berbasis Pati Umbi Kimpul (Xanthosoma Sagittifolium) yang Diinkorporasi dengan Kalium Sorbat

Pati umbi kimpul (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) mempunyai potensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai bahan dasar edible film, karena pati merupakan senyawa hidrokoloid, sebagai sumber daya alam yang dapat diperbaharui, tersedia secara luas dan mudah didapat. Kandungan amilosa pati umbi kimpul cukup tinggi (35,34%), dua kali lebih besar dibandingkan amilosa pati ubi kayu, memungkinkan untuk menghasilkan edible film yang kuat dan fleksibel. Keberadaan kalium sorbat dalam edible film dengan jumlah yang berbeda akan menghasilkan sifat yang berbeda pula. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sifat fisik, mekanik dan barrier edible film aktif akibat variasi konsentrasi pati umbi kimpul dan kalium sorbat. Edible film yang dihasilkan mempunyai karakter kuat tarik 0,399-1,390 MPa, persen pemanjangan 14,943-31,647%, ketebalan 0,065-0,081 mm, WVTR 10,095-15,247 g.mm/m2.hari, kelarutan 27,126-59,846% dan transparansi 0,719-1,063.

Gel Glukomanan Porang-Xantan dan Kestabilannya Setelah Penyimpanan Dingin dan Beku

The objectives of this research were to find the porang glucomannan-xanthan optimum ratio on composite gelation and its stability after chilled and frozen storage. Porang glucomannan sol was mixed with xanthan sol in ratio 20/40; 40/60; 50/50; 60/40 and 80/20. The composites were heated for 45 minutes at 90 °C with agitation for 5 minutes, molded, tempered, and stored at 5 °C dan -8 °C for 24 days. Before dan after storage, the texture profile, WBC and sineresis of the gel were analyzed. The composite gel microstructure was analyzed using SEM. The composite gel with ratio 20/80 had the optimum interaction synergy on gelation and stability. The GP-X intermolecular association resulted in long high density junction zones which had highest hardness, chewiness and gumminess with the smallest deformation degree and sineresis as well as medium cohesiveness. Despite of no sineresis after chilled storage, the smaller gel pores indicated that the composite gel began to contract and degrade which resulted in cohesiveness, chewinees, hardness and gumminess decrease. The WBC increase on the higher GP-X ratio composite gel made the gel to be more stable in frozen storage compared to chilled storage. However, the bigger gel pores from entrapped water volume increasing during frozen storage crystal ice formation resulted in sineresis increase. The gel became more compact with higher cohesiveness, hardness, chewiness, gumminess and deformation degree
