Many people in Indonesia consumed tongkol fish by processing it into balado tongkol. The process carried out to extend the shelf life of the product is by packing it in cans. Information related to shelf life was needed for canned food, so that it can guarantee that the food was still good for consumption. This study aims to determine the shelf life of balado tongkol in cans from TEFA Fish Canning with the Arrhenius method. Arrhenius is the method of estimating shelf life used was ASLT (Accelerated Shelf Life Test). The ASLT method requires a relatively short testing time with an acceptable level of accuracy. This research was conducted at the TEFA Fish Canning and Food Processing Laboratory of Politeknik Negeri Jember in March – July 2021. Estimating the shelf life used the reaction approach that increases the TBA number as a critical parameter. The kinetic reaction of increasing the TBA number in canned balado tongkol followed the ordo 0 reaction. The results showed that the shelf life of balado tongkol in cans at room temperature was 24,6 weeks.
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.
