PENGARUH KONSENTRASI PEKTIN DAN LAMA PENYIMPANAN TERHADAP MUTU SELAI NANAS LEMBARAN

ABSTRACT: Research  was  conducted  to  determine  Effect  of  pectin  concentration  and  storage  time  on  the  quality  of  pineapple  jam sheet.  Pineapple  production  in  Indonesia  is  very  abundant,  but  its  processing  is  still  very  minimal,  therefore  the diversification of pineapple processing is needed to increase. This study was conducted to determine the effect of pectin concentration and storage time on the quality of pineapple jam sheet. This study used a completely randomized design with two factors namely pectin concentration (P): 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00%, and storage time (L): 0 days, 5 days, 10 days and 15 days. The parameters analyzed were moisture content, total acid, vitamin C, total dissolved solids, total microbes,  organoleptic  of  color,  aroma,  taste,  texture  as  well  as  color  and  texture  scores.  The  results  showed  that  the concentration  of  pectin  had    highly  significant  effect  on  water  content,  total  acid,  vitamin  C,  total  dissolved  solids, organoleptic of color, aroma, taste, texture as well as color and texture scores. Storage time had highly significant effect on water content, total acid, vitamin C, total dissolved solids, total microbes, organoleptic of color, aroma, taste, texture as well as color and texture scores. Interaction of the two factors had highly significant effect on water content, total acid test scores and color. Concentration of 0.75% pectin gave the best quality characteristics of the pineapple jam sheet and storage for 10 days was still acceptable for consumption.
