This study aims to determine the effect of packaging types and storage duration on the quality of andaliman powder. The study was conducted at the Laboratory of Processing and Management of Agricultural Products, Agricultural Product Technology Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Catholic University of St. Thomas Medan. This research was conducted using Factorial Complete Random Design method. The first factor is packaging with a password (K), consisting of 4 types, namely: K1 is Glass bottle, K2 is Plastic bottle, K3 is Flip plastic and K4 is Paper. The second factor is the storage time with L code which consists of four levels, namely: L0 is 0 weeks, L1 is 2 weeks, L2 is 4 weeks and L3 is 6 weeks. The results showed that the type of packaging had a very significant effect on water content, total acid, oleoresin content and organoleptic value, but it was not significant for ash content. The highest water content, ash content and total acid were found in paper plastic packaging, while the lowest was in glass bottle packaging, while the highest oleoresin content and highest organoleptic value were found in glass bottle packaging, while the lowest was on paper packaging. Storage time has a very significant effect on water content, total acid, oleoresin content and organoleptic value, but not significant to ash content. The longer the storage, the moisture content, ash content and total acid content increase, while the oleoresin content and organoleptic values decrease. The interaction between the type of packaging and storage duration gave no significant effect on water content, ash content, total acid, oleoresin content and organoleptic value. The best quality of andaliman powder is obtained in the type of glass bottles and plastic bottles which can be seen from the water content, oleoresin content and organoleptic value.

This chapter presents the effect of ultrasound pretreatment on drying kinetics and product temperature. Drying provides a longer shelf life of agricultural products and low-cost transport and storage. The researchers performed pretreatments to the products to accelerate the drying process and to increase the quality for decades. The ultrasound applications considered as one of these are shown as the promising technology in the drying industry. The ultrasound application is used in drying processes in two different ways as ultrasound-assisted drying or as a pretreatment. In ultrasound-assisted drying, mechanical waves directly move to the cell wall of the product. On the other hand, the agricultural product to be dried is immersed in a liquid medium with different solution and ultrasound are applied at specified times by using as a pretreatment. They demonstrate that the ultrasound pretreatment method could be suitable for industrial production.
