Red Snappers contain high content protein and water which makes them highly perishable. However, they are widely processed into the fillet. One of the disadvantages of filleting is the short shelf life due to the high water content turning the fillets into an ideal media for bacteria. The edible coating protects the meat from perishability by reducing the water vapor, aroma, and lipid migration. One of the potential protein sources for coating is gelatin. The essential oil content that has a role in inhibiting bacterial growth is citronellal. The present study aimed to determine the effects of adding Kaffir limes (Citrus hystrix) leaf essential oil to a gelatin coating on the shelf life of red snappers’ fillet. An experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with four treatment groups based on the concentration of Citrus hystrix essential oil and five replications (n = 3 per group). In this regard, the treatments were named P0 (0% of Citrus hystrix), P1 (1% of Citrus hystrix), P2 (1.5% of Citrus hystrix), and P3 (2% of Citrus hystrix). The investigated parameters included total plate count, sensory quality, and acidity. Data analysis was performed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The results showed that the addition of 1.5% and 2% Citrus hystrix essential oil decreased the number of bacteria, and led to a higher sensory quality. In conclusion, The addition of Citrus hystrix essential oil in the gelatin-coating process can be used as a method of processing the fishery products to extend the shelf life of red snappers’ fillet at room temperature and inhibit bacterial growth.

Maize is one of the important staple foods for people in Timor, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Subsistent farmers store the maize for their own consumption until the next harvest season, for seed and feed.  However, high initial water content of the kernel due to improper drying prior storage initiate serious damage and losses during the maize storage.  High water content promotes the growth of fungi and insects, and increase respiration rate, resulting in rapid deterioration of maize. The purpose of this study was to determine the initial moisture content that might minimize damage and losses of maize in the farmers’ storage, and to study the effects of some plant materials that are used to smoke corns before storage. The experiment was initiated by sun-drying the harvested corncobs for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 days (6 hours a day). This experiment was designed using Completely Randomized Design with 6 treatments and 3 replications. Dried corncobs were stored in the farmer’s storage for 4 months. The effects of maize kernels’ initial water content on the development of water content in kernels; the percentage of damaged kernels; and the species of pathogen and insects were investigated during storage with 2-week intervals.  The results demonstrated that drying the corncobs prior storage for 10 days, resulting in 12.96% of water content, significantly decreased the percentage of seed damage to 6.5%, as compared to without drying process which resulted  in 63%.  Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium sp., and Penicillium sp were found to be the main pathogen during storage.  There are no insect pests found during the storage.

The high water content in dragon fruit causes the fruit to be easily damaged, therefore it needs to be processed to reduce the amount of loss, including making it into jam. In addition, processing dragon fruit into various processed products also aims to overcome the problem of excess production when the harvest season arrives. The aim of this research was to obtain the ratio of dragon-sugar fruit which gave the best influence on the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics of jam. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) for the analysis of physical parameters of jam (softness) and chemical jam (water content, total dissolved solids, anthocyanin and vitamin C levels). Randomized Group Design (RBD) for analysis of organoleptic test parameters (color, texture, taste and preference). As a treatment, it is the ratio of dragon-sugar, which consists of five levels of treatment, namely P1 = dragon fruit 450 g: granulated sugar 550 g, P2 = dragon fruit 500 g: granulated sugar 500 g, P3 = dragon fruit 550 g: sugar 450 g, P4 = dragon fruit 600 g: granulated sugar 400 g, P5 = dragon fruit 650 g: granulated sugar 350 g. Each treatment was repeated 3 times so that there were 15 experimental units. The data obtained were analyzed using F test 0.01 and 0.05. If the treatment has a significant or very real effect, then proceed with the BNJ test at tararf 0.01 and 0.05. The results showed that treatment P4 (600: 400 b / b dragon-sugar ratio) gave the best influence on the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics of dragon fruit jam. This treatment can reduce the use of sugar by 15 percent from the standard use of sugar in making jam.
