PENENTUAN UMUR SIMPAN OTAK-OTAK IKAN UMKM BUNGA MAWAR DENGAN METODE EXTENDED STORAGE STUDIES (ESS)

Otak-otak ikan merupakan salah satu produk diversifikasi hasil perikanan yang sudah lama dikenal dan disukai oleh masyarakat di Indonesia. Otak-otak ikan yang bersifat semi basah biasanya memiliki umur simpan yang singkat sehingga penentuan informasi umur simpan produk menjadi penting. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik mutu bahan baku dan produk akhir, kandungan nilai gizi, serta umur simpan dari otak-otak ikan yang diproduksi UMKM Bunga Mawar dengan metode Extended Storage Studies (ESS). Mutu otak-otak ikan UMKM Bunga Mawar sesuai dengan SNI (7757:2013). Nilai sensori produk otak-otak ikan adalah 9. Kadar air 50,19%, kadar abu 1,22%, Protein 7%, Lemak 2,95%. Karbohidrat 38,64%, ALT 2 x 10 3 Kol/g. E.Coli < 3 APM / 25g, Salmonella Negatif, dan S Staphylococcus aureus 57 kol/g. Nilai gizi otak-otak ikan UMKM Bunga Mawar pertakaran saji 50 g antara lain energi total 100 kkal, energi dari lemak 9 kkal dengan lemak 1 g, protein 7 g, karbohidrat 15 g, persentase AKG berdasarkan kebutuhan umum 2.150 kkal antara lain lemak 2%, protein 7%, karbohidrat 9%. Umur simpan otak-otak ikan UMKM Bunga Mawar yang dibungkus menggunakan plastik PE tanpa divakum pada suhu 5°C adalah 6 hari dan pada suhu 30°C adalah 4 hari.

Pendugaan umur simpan metode extend storage studies dan pengaruh lama penyimpanan terhadap organoleptik simplisia Mentha x piperita L

Mentha x piperita L. simplicial may undergo deterioration during storage, therefore it is very important to determine its shelf life. The determination of shelf life was done using Extend Storage Studies (ESS) method. This study was aimed to determine the shelf life and the effect of storage time on organoleptic simplicia M. x piperita. The sample used was simplicia that has been stored for 0, 15, 22, 30, 32, and 44 mounth in the simplicia storage warehouse with some long storage, and then the samples were subjected for moisture content analysis and organoleptic evaluation. The results showed that the shelf life of M. x piperita simplisia determined using the method of a water content parameter approach was 27 months. After 27 months of storage, although the aroma still can be preserve, there wa a decrease in the taste and the color of simplisia. In addition, there was increase in water content.

Seed storage studies in Mesua ferrea L. a medicinal tree of Indo-Malayan region

This paper, deals with testing the storage and viability of the seeds of Mesua ferrea L. in 5 different storage conditions. Seeds of M. ferrea are recalcitrant in nature and lose viability with a short span 8-15 days. Of the different conventional methods tried using the polycarbonate bottle and bags, M. ferrea seeds retained viability for 150 days with a slow moisture loss from the seeds stored in closed polycarbonate bottles at 10 °C. Here, we have standardised a conventional technique whereby the viability of the seeds can be extended to 150-180 days by storing the seeds in polycarbonate bottles at 10 °C.

Evaluation of Rabi Onion Genotypes for Storage Characteristics (Six Months Period)

A field experiment entitled, “Evaluation of rabi onion genotypes for storage characteristics (six month period)” was conducted during rabi season, 2017-18 at “Scheme for Research on Onion Storage”, Department of Horticulture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri. Dist. Ahmednagar (Maharashtra) India. The experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design with seventeen genotypes and one check variety i.e. N-2-4-1 treatments replicated three times. In storage studies results indicated that, the minimum storage losses (Sprouting losses (%), Rotting losses (%), PLW losses (%) & Total losses) were recorded by the genotypes T7, T11 and T10.The minimum sprouting losses (after 6 month storage) was recorded in genotype T11 (1.41 %). It was followed by genotype viz. T7 and T10 (1.51 %). The maximum sprouting losses (after 6 month storage) was recorded in genotype T17 (4.06 %). Rotting losses (after 6 month storage) ranged between T11 (3.19) to T4 (7.46) per cent. The minimum PLW loss was recorded in genotype T7 (14.98 %), followed by genotype viz. T11 (15.64 %), T10 (15.85 %) and T6 (17.16 %). The maximum PLW loss was recorded in genotype T17 (33.26 %). The minimum total losses (after 6-month storage) was recorded by genotype T11 (21.34 %). While the maximum total losses (after 6-month storage) was recorded in T4 (36.49 %). Considering the above results, it could be concluded that, among the seventeen genotypes T7 (RHROR–7), T10 (RHROR–10) and T11 (RHROR–11) found promising for further evaluation.
