Pengaruh Konsentrasi Bubuk Asap Cair Tempurung Kelapa (Cocos Nucifera Linn) Dan Lama Penyimpanan Terhadap Kualitas Bandeng Presto Asap

Abstract

Aimed of this study was to determine the effect of the concentration of liquid smoke powder of coconut (Cocos nucifera Linn) and storage time and their interaction in maintaining the quality of smoked milkfish presto. The chemical qualities were based on water content and crude protein content, and the organoleptic qualities were based on colour, odour, texture and flavour. The research was conducted in Randomized Complete Block with two factorial design. The first factor was the concentration of liquid smoke powder 0%, 5% and 10%; whereas the second factor was storage time 0, 2 and 4th days at room temperature; using 3 replications. The results showed that smoking process with different concentration of liquid smoke powder and different storage time affect the chemical and organoleptic qualities of milkfish presto smoke, between 2 treatments their interaction gave significant effect (p <0.05) on milkfish presto smoke chemical quality and shows the linear pattern of trends (55.03% – 62.91% water content and 28.66% – 34.00% crude protein content). Based on organoleptic tests, the concentrations of 5% liquid smoke powder and 2 days storage time gave the best combination that can maintain the quality of milkfish presto smoke
