Plasma treatment was widely known as an effective technology applied for contact-surface decontamination. Enoki (Flammulina velutipes) was an edible-medicinal mushroom with different phytochemicals and bioactive components beneficial for human health. Enoki mushroom had high respiration rate therefore it was highly perishable after harvesting. Moreover, it was greatly susceptible to microbial contamination but it was not feasible to be decontaminated by normal water washing. It’s urgent to extend shelf-life and control microbial criteria on this mushroom in dry manner without aqueous treatment. Corona discharge plasma was among 4 kinds of diverse cold atmospheric pressure plasma sources widely applied in food industry. This study demonstrated the influence of corona discharge plasma power values (control, 120, 150, 180, 210 W) on the physicochemical and microbial characteristics of Enoki mushroom during 10 days of storage at ambient temperature. Results showed that Enoki mushroom should be treated at 150 W of corona discharge plasma power to retain weight loss, total soluble solid, vitamin C in acceptable values while reducing total Aerobic count, Coliform, Enterobacteriaceae as much as possible. At the 10th day of storage, the weight loss, total soluble solid, vitamin C, total Aerobic count, Coliform, Enterobacteriaceae were recorded at 3.35±0.07%, 6.98±0.03 oBrix, 14.81±0.04 mg/100 g, 4.71±0.05 log CFU/g, 3.17±0.02 log CFU/g, 2.13±0.01 CFU/g, respectively. Findings of this research proved that corona discharge plasma pretreatment would be appropriate to maintain physicochemical properties and retard microbial loads on Enoki mushroom during preservation.

Abstrak. Nanas (Ananas comosus Merr) segar mempunyai umur simpan yang relatif singkat. Penyimpanan dengan menggunakan kemasan plastik vakum pada suhu rendah selama penyimpanan merupakan salah satu cara untuk mempertahankan kualitas dan memperpanjang umur simpan buah nanas terolah minimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh bentuk irisan buah nanas terolah minimal terhadap kualitas dan umur simpan nanas pada pengemasan  vakum menggunakan kemasan plastik polypropilen (PP). Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) non faktorial, dengan faktor perlakuan adalah variasi bentuk irisan pada buah nanas yang terdiri dari 3 taraf yaitu irisan membujur, irisan dadu, dan irisan memanjang. Nanas dipotong setebal 2 cm dan disimpan pada suhu 10°C. Pengamatan dilakukan setiap 2 hari sekali sampai batas ditolak oleh panelis dengan nilai minimal 2 (tidak suka). Pengamatan penelitian meliputi umur simpan, susut bobot, kekerasan, vitamin C dan total padatan terlarut (TPT). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nanas terolah minimal yang disimpan pada suhu 10ºC dalam kemasan vakum dengan bentuk irisan memanjang memiliki umur simpan 10 hari, sedangkan dengan bentuk irisan membujur dan irisan dadu memiliki umur simpan 6 dan 8 hari. Perlakuan variasi bentuk irisan tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap susut bobot, kekerasan, TPT dan vitamin C pada buah nanas terolah minimal tersebut. Susut bobot yang terendah adalah pada perlakuan irisan dadu sebesar 0,9% dan tertinggi pada irisan membujur sebesar 5,2%. Kekerasan tertinggi pada irisan memanjang sebesar 0,7 kg/cm2  dan terendah pada irisan dadu sebesar 0,5 kg/cm2. Perlakuan nanas terolah minimal dengan irisan dadu menunjukkan nilai TPT tertinggi yaitu sebesar 13,3%Brix dan nilai vitamin C tertinggi sebesar 12,03 mg/100 g  bahan segar. The Influences of Cut Types on the Quality of Fresh Minimally Processed Pineapple Abstract. Fresh pineapple (Ananas comosus Merr) has short life span. The storage at vacuum and low temperature condition by using plastic bag is expected to maintain the quality and prolong the life span of fresh minimally processed pineapple. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of cut types of fresh minimally processed pineapple on its quality and shelf life. The study was done under complete random design non factorial with the cut types treatment consisted of 3 variations i.e. slicing, dicing, and julienne. The fruit was cut at thickness of 2 cm and stored at temperature of 10 C. The observation was conducted every 2 day until the consumers rejection by minimal score of 2 (dislike). The parameters observed were the life span, weight loss, the hardness, vitamin C and the total soluble solid. Results showed that the fresh minimally processed pineapple with julienne cut type had the longest life span i.e. 10 days, whereas he fresh minimally processed pineapple with slicing and dicing cut types had life span at 6 and 8 days, respectively. All cut types did not influence the weight loss, the hardness, vitamin C dan total soluble solid of fresh minimally processed pineapple. The lowest weight loss was indicated at dicing cut type (0.9%), while the highest weight loss was indicated at slicing cut type (5.2%). The hardest condition of fruit texture was observed at julienne cut type (0.7 kg/cm2), while the softest condition of fruit texture was observed at dicing cut type (0.5 kg/cm2). The best performance of total soluble solid and vitamin C were determined at dicing cut type.

Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dilution ratio and pasteurization on physico-chemical parameters of Saba senegalensis pulp in the context of its recovery. Study Design: The experimental set-up was of a completely randomized design. Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out in the Department of Food Science and Technology, at the Laboratory of Food Biochemistry and Tropical Product Technology (BATPTL) of Nangui Abrogoua University, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, between June and August 2019. Methodology: The pulp collected from the fruit was diluted according to the following pulp/water ratio (RPW; v/v): 1:0.5; 1:1 and 1:1.5 and pasteurized at 75°C at different times (5 min, 10 min and 15 min). The pH, titratable acidity (TA), Total soluble solid (TSS), vitamin C, β-carotene and the colour were determined on the different samples. Results: The results obtained during this study showed that all the physico-chemical parameters evaluated, except pH, are affected during dilution while during pasteurization only vitamin C and β-carotene are affected. During the respective dilutions, 50%, 62% and 66% of the vitamin C concentration decreased as well as 53%, 74% and 76% of β-carotene. It also led to a decrease in total soluble solid (TSS) of 32%, 50% and 59%. Following the pasteurization of each diluted pulp12%, 45% and 50% on average of the vitamin C are lost at the respective pasteurization time  (5 min, 10 min and 15 min respectively). For β-carotene the content decreases (50%) within the first 5 minutes and remains constant during the last 10 minutes of pasteurization. Conclusion: During Saba senegalensis fruit processing into nectar, dilution and pasteurization factors must be considered in order to ensure the physico-chemical quality of the beverage. The physico-chemical characteristics were more affected during dilution than in pasteurization.
