Material Contact and Environmental Effects on Vitamin A Fortified Vegetable Frying Oil

Observations about the impact of environmental parameters and time, on fortified vegetable oil, using typical commercial grade linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) packaging during typical shelf-life conditions, are minimal. We tested the long-term (12 months) impact of temperature and illuminance (light: 100 to 150 lux and darkness <1 lux) on refined bleached deodorized palm olein (RBDPOL), fortified with vitamin A, and without antioxidant. Results showed degradation of fortified RBDPOL with 70 ppm vitamin A was approximately 19% at 18-22oC in Light, 18% at 18-22oC in Darkness, 38% at 32-33oC in light and 24% 32-33oC in darkness. A similar trend was observed at 45 ppm vitamin A. Exposure to both heat and light impacted vitamin A degradation, but was primarily attributed to prolonged exposure at elevated temperature, irrespective of the packaging material. This short study validates extensive research by Silalahi et al., (2017), doi:10.1111/ijfs.13462 on the impact of environmental effects of fortified vegetable frying oil, during extensive storage life periods.

The Development of Butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) Flower Powder Drink by Co-crystallization

Abstract— A method consist of co-crystallization, agglomeration, drying has been applied to develop a powder drink from butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea) extract. The butterfly pea flower extract was concentrated by vacuum evaporation and incorporated with supersaturated sugar solution (more than 90 Brix), agglomerated and dried at 60oC for 12 hours. The anthocyanin stability and antioxidant activity of the powder drink was evaluated for 28 days at three levels of temperature (room temperature, 40oC, and 50oC). The stability of anthocyanin decreased as the increase of storage temperature. The half-life of anthocyanin in the powder drink at respective temperature was 27.99, 16.53, and 9.81 days. Despite the anthocyanin significantly degraded, the decrease of antioxidant activity of the powder drink was not significant. Hence, the beneficial effect of the butterfly pea powder drink retained. Keywords— anthocyanin; butterfly pea; co-crystallization; stability; sugar

Performance Improvement of Fruit Ripeness Smart Label Based On Ammonium Molibdat Color Indicators

Research in fruit ripeness indicator is still experiencing especially due to major difficulties of several fruits with no color changes in its skin when it is ripen. From the previous research, there was found that ammonium molybdate [(NH4) 6Mo7O24.4H2O] embedded in the polymer matrix could be used as an indicator label to detect the ripeness of climacteric fruits base on the color change from yellow to blue and then green. However, the performance label still needs to be developed further. The surface of the label was still poor due to air or bubble trapping inside the film. It was found that mixing H2O2 and molydate agent produced air or bubble thus in this research, a pre-treatment of film solution was done to chase away the air by storing and vacuuming the solution in cold temperature and time period of storage. A variety of film drying method was also carried out to find the best temperature of the oven to produce smooth surface of the film. The sensitivity of the label to ethylene gas was improved by adding more agent solution into the film. The best form of smart labels was produced using an oven at 40°C for 18 hours. The label composition was 100 mL distilled water, 3.5 g PVOH, 2 mL glycerol, and a color indicator solution (ammonium molybdate and hydrogen peroxide ratio of 1:10) at 4 mL. The molydate solution had to be stored for 3 days in temperature of 7oC before used. The label sensitivity was improved as low as 100 ppm of pure ethylene gas. Label application in a pack of avocados showed a relationship between label color changes and fruit quality degradation. The value of hue label on days 0 to 6 changed from yellow to greenish yellow, while on the 7th to the 10th day the color of the label was still in the same color as the day of 6th. Decreasing the quality of fruit during storage can be seen from the increase in the percentage of weight loss and hardness of fruit texture.

The Variuous Packaging Effects of Loker Telun Berasap Chili Damage During Storage

General characteristics of fresh horticultural products like chili, is easily get damaged after harvest. The chili declining quality and loss after harvesting occur due to ongoing respiration process. Hence, the chilies become wither or rot. This damage happens due to physical, microbiological, and physiological influences. Physical damage and yield loss can be caused by packaging uses during storage. The study aimed to determine the effect of packaging use type for Locker Telun Berasap chillies on the weight loss and damage during storage. The treatments were the commonly community packaging use types which consists of: a) polyethylene plastic (PE), b) paper and c) banana leaf. Each treatment was performed two replications and stored at room temperature. Observation parameters during storage were weight loss, and physical, physiological, microbiological damages. The lowest weight loss percentage for 12 days’ storage by PE packaging was 45.5%. The total damage was 30% lower compared to paper and banana leaf packaging. Optimal freshness can be achieved until the 8th day of storage with physical damage only 1.03% on PE packaging. The results of the study showed that the dominant microbiological damage was found in the banana leaf packaging treatment.

Optimization of wall components for encapsulation of Nigella sativa seed oil by freeze-drying

The aim of the present study was to determine the proper concentrations of whey protein isolate (WPI), Arabic gum (AG), and Zedo gum (ZG) for the encapsulation of Nigella sativa seed oil (NSO). WPI, AG, and ZG were used as wall materials for the encapsulation of NSO by mixture design and then the optimum sample with minimum Z-average, PDI, and a* and maximum zeta potential, conductivity, encapsulation efficiency, and b* was selected for examining FT-IR and SEM. The findings demonstrated that lower particle size and particle dispersion index were obtained at higher amounts of AG and WPI with the least a*. Desirability function results indicate that the mixture of 39.05% WPI, 16.758% AG, and 4.192% ZG led to the production of the optimum sample. Microencapsulation of Nigella sativa seed oil using the optimum wall composition was recognized to be useful to preserve bioactive compounds and provide flavor stability, enabling the use of microcapsules in food formulations.

Abstract— This study aimed to determine the effect of sugar concentration on the organoleptic quality of instant coffee of Liberika Tungkal Jambi and to determine the optimal concentration of sugar in producing instant coffee with the best organoleptic quality. Instant coffee was produced by co-crystallizationmethod.The crystallizing agent used was granulated sugar. Coffee extract was made using an extractor in a ratio of coffee powder/hotwater of 1/15. Five levels of sugar concentration (15, 25, 35, 45 and 55%) were applied in a completely randomized design with 4 replications. The parameters observed were the sweetness level, the distinctive aroma of coffee, the granulestexture, and the panelist's preference.The parameters were organoleptically determined using 15 trained panelists in the scoring test format. The data was analyzed using ANOVA and DNMRT at 95% confidence level. The results showed that the sugar concentration had a significant effect on the level of sweetness, the distinctive aroma of coffee, and instant coffee granules performance but had no significant effect on solubility and panelist preferences. The optimal sugar concentration to produce instant coffee with good quality was 25%. Keywords— libtukom, instant coffee, recrystallization, sugar
