IRRADIATION FOR THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF HOME STYLE FROZEN SNACKS.There are to market frozen prepared meals for microwaving or conventional way of preparation. Such meals. which offer convenience growing trends in Indonesia, and lesser time preparation are available in the developed countries, either chilled with limited shelf-life or frozen for long term sale in supermarkets. Irradiation at pasteurization doses has a potential role in improving the microbiological safety and shelf-life of chilledprepared meals. Medium doses of gamma irradiation, 3-7 kGy, applied to spring rolls, rissole and croquette, in combination with frozen state during irradiation, followed by storage at 5 ± 2°C, have been conducted in order to ensure the safety and quality of the products during storage. The three different snacks. six pieces each. were vacuum packed in a laminate pouch of Poliester/Aluminum foil/LLDPE followed by fteezing over night at -20°C prior to irradiation at cryogenic condition. Irradiation at a dose of 7 kGy could relatively maintain the quality of the products during three months of storage 5 ± 2 o C, based on different parameters, such as microbiological assessments, some chemical characteristics, and organoleptic analysis using five hedonic scales.
Komsumsi daging itik di restoran-restoran umum serta dalam industri catering dan warung yang cukup besar ternyata menimbulkan masalah pada limbah tulang yang sampai saat ini pemanfaatannya masih minim. Khususnya di kabupaten Sidrap, Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan, di mana limbah tulang itik berasal dari warung palekko’sebagai makanan khas di kabupaten sidrap yang sangat di minati masyarakat sekitar. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu dan waktu terhadap mutu organoleptik tepung tulang itik yang dihasilkan dari beberapa perlakuan. Pengolahan data yang dilakukan yakni Analisa deskriptif dan analisa regresi linier menggunakan aplikasi Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) dengan selang kepercayaan 5% untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu dan waktu terhadap mutu tepung tulang itik. Suhu dan waktu pengeringan hanya berpengaruh nyata terhadap parameter warna tepung tulang itik yang dihasilkan dengan selang kepercayaan 5%, sedangkan untuk parameter tekstur dan aroma tidak berpengaruh nyata. Dilihat pula dari persentase rendemen yang dihasilkan cukup baik hingga tepung tulang itik ini dapat dikembangkan atau dilakukan metode lainnya untuk menambah kualitas yang akan dihasilkan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
