Chocomix is a chocolate powder drink made from cocoa beans by local farmers in Nglanggeran Village. This study aims to investigate the shelf life of Chocomix using the Accelerated Shelf Life Testing (ASLT) method, particularly the critical moisture content approach. The result of the study shows that the critical moisture content of Chocomix is 4.01% (db). The MSI curve of Chocomix in a temperature of 28 o C forms an isothermal sigmoid curve type II with two curves in the range of aw 0.24 and aw 0.68. The equation obtained from the MSI curve is y = 86. 584X3 -91.893X2 + 28.818X -0.470. The shelf life of Chocomix stored at a temperature of 28 o C in a metalized film with a thickness of 51.89 µm is 16.4 months.
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.
